Mortgage Fraud Lawyers — Bank Fraud Defense Attorneys Serving Orange County
Bank fraud is defined as using fraudulent means to obtain financial resources held by a bank, lender or another financial institution. It can involve everything from falsifying a loan application to knowingly writing bad checks for financial gain.
Charges of bank fraud are very serious, and with the recent financial downturn, they are more common than ever. If you are charged with bank fraud, you may be prosecuted in federal court and face strict federal penalties. In addition, you could lose your job, your business, your professional license and your standing reputation as you fight these allegations. Because financial fraud cases are usually quite complex, having an attorney with substantial experience handling criminal defense on your side may significantly reduce the consequences of the alleged crime.
Experienced Bank Fraud Defense
Dempsey & Associates, P.A., has extensive fraud defense experience. We have represented banks and bank employees charged with fraudulent conduct, in addition to business owners, accountants and other people accused of financial crimes. We have also represented victims of bank fraud. Our skilled Orlando bank fraud lawyers understand how to fight bank fraud charges from both sides, providing valuable insight for your unique circumstances.
Part of our past success in bank fraud cases stems from our knowledge of all aspects of the crime. Due to the nature of the crime, bank fraud cases rarely stand alone and are often charged in conjunction with other white collar crimes, including check fraud, mail fraud and wire fraud, forgery or mortgage fraud. In some instances, the prosecution may decide to charge someone with bank fraud as part of an investigation for invasion of taxes or identity theft.
It is important to note that no matter what the allegations, they must constitute a "scheme to defraud" to be considered bank fraud. We can work to present evidence that there was no scheme to defraud. For instance, if a bank employee is charged with fraud, we may be able to prove that he or she was following the orders of the employee's superior and not purposely defrauding the bank or individual. Our experience and comprehensive knowledge of these cases allows us to put together strong defenses that aim to minimize the penalties, or in some cases, avoid formal charges altogether.

Criminal and civil charges of bank fraud may be brought against individuals and financial institutions. If you lost money because a bank failed or one of its employees committed fraud, we can represent you in a civil suit.
