Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

The statute of limitations stops running when charges are filed. There is no such thing as a statute of limitation on being arrested. It just governs how fast the prosecutor needs to file charges.

With respect to felony fraud, that is not a specific charge. Many criminal statutes contain the word fraud, but you are going to have to be more specific as to the charge. For example, check fraud is a crime, which is set forth in Penal Code section 476. The word "fraud" is also used in theft crimes, such as Penal Code section 484.

The best thing you can do, which should make you feel more comfortable, is speak to an attorney in person, so that your consultation is cloaked with privilege and confidentiality.
