The Basics Of Criminal Fraud Cases
Fraud can generally be defined as another form of theft. However, the main difference between fraud and theft is that fraud involves one person knowingly and willfully deceiving another for their own financial benefit.

How A Fraud Charge Can Impact Your Life
Everyone knows that a criminal conviction of any kind will potentially lead to jail time and monetary fines. For example, a fraud-related conviction in Pennsylvania carries a jail sentence of 90 days for a summary offense to 10 years for a second-degree felony and a fine ranging from $300 for a summary offense to $25,000 for a second-degree felony. However, many people fail to consider how a criminal conviction will impact their social life as well. Beyond the legal consequences Pennsylvanians with a fraud conviction face, they could have limited employment and housing opportunities.
