Fraud and white collar crimes are taken very seriously by the criminal justice system. Due to the breach of trust involved, penalties for fraud can be more severe than the penalty for theft, even if the value of the property taken is the same. You need an experienced criminal defence lawyer with a thorough understanding of fraud and white collar offences to ensure your best defence.
Fraud differs from theft in that instead of stealth or violence, fraud uses deceit as its primary tactic. Subcategories include identity fraud and insurance fraud. White collar offences are a wide-ranging category which can include price fixing, selling of unsafe goods, embezzlement, bribery, or stock manipulation.

Once a decision has been made by the courts, an appeal is the only means by which that decision may be overturned. Not every decision or sentence is appealable, but an experienced criminal defence lawyer can examine your case to determine whether grounds for an appeal may exist.
Appeals may be made towards a conviction or sentence if errors were made during your investigation or trial, if the sentence is unduly harsh, or if fresh evidence is presented that was unavailable during your trial.
If you believe a mistake was made in the course of your investigation or trial, or you feel your sentence is overly severe, contact Gindin Wiebe Segal today to determine if your case may have grounds for an appeal.

The Canada Revenue Agency may audit or investigate situations where they suspect wrongdoing or fraudulent behaviour. This may result in your records, as well as any relevant records from your accountant, seized.
It is important to note that while you may not be punished for a simple mistake, charges can be laid if the Canada Revenue Agency finds you have intentionally misrepresented your income or other tax information.

Dealing with law enforcement can be an incredibly intimidating situation. If you are being investigated for a crime, it is not always easy to advocate for yourself, even if your rights are being violated.
The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees rights and freedoms for all Canadians, regardless of age, race, sex, creed, or walk of life. If these rights are violated by police or government at any level, a charter application must be filed to ensure your rights are upheld.
Even if you stand accused of a crime, you still have rights that cannot be legally withheld such as the right to remain silent and the right to counsel. Gindin Wiebe Segal firmly believes in the rights and freedoms of all Canadians, and will ensure that your rights are protected.
