Chandler Fraudulent Schemes Lawyer

Fraudulent Schemes A.R.S. §13-2310 any person who, pursuant to a scheme or artifice to defraud, knowingly obtains any benefit by means of false or fraudulent pretenses, representations, promises, or material omissions is guilty of fraudulent schemes and artifices.

This can be a very broad crime in Arizona. The crime of fraudulent schemes is when someone knowingly attempts to defraud to gain an unfair benefit or that another person was deprived of the right of honest services.

Fraudulent schemes can include but are not limited to:

• Credit card fraud
• Identity theft
• Business fraud
• Selling counterfeit drugs

This crime is a class 2 felony in Arizona with up to 12.5 years of imprisonment for those who are convicted. In addition, you will most likely be required to pay restitution and fines. Having a fraudulent scheme conviction on your record will also affect your ability to gain employment in positions of trust, such as a manager or bookkeeper.

The penalties will be even more severe if you have a previous fraudulent scheme conviction on your record. The penalties for subsequent convictions could be enhanced and you could face up to 25 years in prison.

The State of Arizona takes these crimes very seriously, and the consequences of a conviction can follow you for the rest of your life. If you are facing fraudulent schemes charges, you should consult with a criminal defense attorney as soon as possible to plan a defense for these charges.
