Denver Colorado Fraud Defense Lawyer

Protecting Your Reputation and Your Future

Fraud, identity theft and forgery are considered crimes of dishonesty. If you are accused of obtaining money or property by fraudulent means, everyone from the police, to the prosecutor and the jury will assume that you are a dishonest person. To protect your reputation and your future, it's important to fight these charges aggressively.

I am criminal defense attorney Andres Guevara in Denver, Colorado. If you or a loved one is accused of fraud, identity theft or forgery, I offer a free initial consultation to discuss the charges and explain possible defenses.

A Lifetime Stigma

A conviction of a crime of dishonesty carries a lifetime stigma. Convictions are forever and will remain a part of your criminal record for the rest of your life. Few employers would consider hiring someone who has been convicted of a crime such as check, credit card, wire or bank fraud. Because of the stigma associated with these crimes, it's important to be proactive in coming up with answers to the accusations against you.

I am qualified to defend people charged with fraud crimes due to my understanding of evidence in white-collar crime cases. Before I became a defense lawyer, I was an enforcement attorney with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission in Denver. There I investigated and prosecuted cases of securities law violations. I understand financial fraud and the evidence that is required to prove the state's case. I am able to review complex financial documents that may be used as evidence against you.

As your attorney, my job is to explain and interpret the state's evidence in a way that does not reflect badly on your honesty and morality.

Immigration consequences of a fraud, identity theft or forgery conviction: If you are an immigrant and are convicted of a crime of dishonesty (also known as a crime of moral turpitude), you could be subject to deportation. As your lawyer, I will work hard to resolve your case in a way that protects your immigration status.
