Understanding Fraud in Texas Civil and Criminal Cases
Fraud occurs when someone intentionally misrepresents facts to gain an unfair advantage or cause harm to another party. In Texas, fraud can be prosecuted criminally or pursued through civil litigation. The consequences are severe regardless of which path the case takes.
Criminal fraud charges can result in jail time, hefty fines, and a permanent record. Civil fraud cases can result in significant amounts of money in damages for losses. Common types of fraud we handle include securities fraud, insurance fraud, real estate fraud, business fraud, and contract fraud involving false statements or concealment of material facts.
To prove fraud in court, you must show three things: someone lied on purpose, you believed the lie and acted on it, and you lost money because of it. These cases usually require digging through financial records, hiring experts to explain the numbers, and investigating emails and business documents.
Defense Against Fraud Allegations in Houston
Being accused of fraud is serious. These allegations threaten your freedom, your business, and your reputation in the community. Many fraud accusations arise from misunderstandings, failed business deals, or aggressive opponents looking to gain leverage in disputes.
Our defense strategy starts with a thorough investigation of the claims against you. We review every contract, email, financial record, and witness statement to build your defense. Many times, what looks like fraud is really a business disagreement where both sides understood the deal differently. We work to show that any statements made were honest mistakes, normal business decisions, or that the other side’s losses came from their own choices.
Our fraud defense services include:
- Responding to demand letters and pre-litigation threats
- Filing motions to dismiss weak fraud claims
- Protecting business owners accused of misrepresentation
- Handling insurance fraud defense
- Representing clients in fraud-related arbitration
We also handle cases where fraud claims are added to existing business disputes as a pressure tactic. Fraud allegations are sometimes used to gain negotiating leverage or to pursue punitive damages that wouldn’t otherwise be available. When this happens, we move quickly to challenge these claims and protect your interests.
Representing Houston Fraud Victims
If you’ve been defrauded, you need aggressive legal representation to recover your losses. Fraud cases require attorneys who understand financial documents, business transactions, and how to trace money through complex corporate structures. We represent clients who’ve lost money through fraudulent schemes, false representations in business deals, and concealment of material facts.
Time matters in fraud cases. Evidence disappears, witnesses’ memories fade, and defendants may move assets to avoid paying judgments. We act quickly to preserve evidence, freeze assets when possible, and build a strong case for recovery.
Our fraud litigation for Houston plaintiffs includes investigating the fraudulent conduct, identifying all responsible parties, filing claims before statutes of limitation expire, seeking temporary restraining orders to protect assets, and pursuing maximum damages, including punitive damages when warranted. We also work with forensic accountants and financial experts to trace hidden assets and prove the full extent of your losses.
Many fraud victims wait too long to consult a Houston fraud attorney because they feel embarrassed or hope the situation will resolve itself. Don’t make this mistake. The sooner you contact us, the better your chances of recovering what you’ve lost.
Why Experience Matters in Fraud Cases
Fraud cases are among the most challenging in civil litigation. They require attorneys who understand both the legal elements of fraud and the financial aspects of business transactions. Judges and juries hold fraud claims to high standards of proof, which means preparation and attention to detail are critical.
Roger G. Jain & Associates, P.C. has handled fraud cases for over 30 years. We’ve defended clients against baseless fraud accusations and recovered millions for fraud victims. Our attorneys know how to present complex financial evidence in ways that judges and juries can understand. We also understand when settlement makes sense and when taking a case to trial is the better option.
