Was it Really Fraud? Or Was It Simply a Mistake?
As our economy changes, federal and state charges of fraud, embezzlement and other white collar crimes are increasing. Prosecutors have grown more zealous and sophisticated in their investigating techniques, often including charges of fraud and conspiracy when they can't quite put their finger on what laws they think you have broken.

We are criminal defense attorneys Tommy LaFon and Jonathan Munier. We offer a combined total of over 46 years of experience in state and federal courts, where we have successfully represented clients charged with white collar crimes such as theft by fraud, misapplication of fiduciary property or embezzlement.
We are both former prosecutors who understand the process and tactics used by the District Attorney to obtain a conviction.

We work together to ensure that your case receives the maximum benefit of our resources and experience.
Don't Let Them Prove That Your Mistake Was Fraud. Talk to One of Us Now.
Making a bad business decision or running an unsuccessful business is not grounds for being charged with fraud or theft. If you have been charged, or have been questioned by an investigator, contact us immediately. In many cases, the police and prosecutors have been investigating and gathering information about their case for weeks and months before filing charges. When the police call or come to your door to ask questions, it means you are involved in some kind of an investigation. Stop talking to the police, no matter how friendly or helpful that they pretend to be. Act immediately by talking to an experienced defense attorney.
We represent people charged with all state and federal fraud and conspiracy crimes, including:
- Mail and wire fraud
- Mortgage fraud, bank loan fraud

- Tampering with government records
- Computer hacking, Internet security crimes

Federal Fraud Charges
