Re: fraud by deception

You need to hire a good attorney. It's a bit difficult to give advice for a case like yours by remote control.

Re: fraud by deception

I am sorry to hear of your problems but congratulations on taking the steps to address them through GA. I wish you much success. In terms of your charges, I am assuming you are being charged with theft by deception or fraud. I would need to know the specific charge to give you more information. I can tell you that the serious of the offense is dependent on the value of money that was involved. The amount of money dictates the custodial time to which you may be exposed. Often, in a first time offender situation, you may be eligible for Pre-trial intervention (PTI). If you are accepted into that program and comply with the conditions, the charges will be dismissed usually within a year. To tell you more, I would need more information. As a former assistant prosecutor, I am familiar with these types of case. If you would like to speak with me further, please do not hesitate to call.
