Miami Credit Card Fraud Lawyers

Each Miami criminal lawyer at DMT has defended various types of credit card fraud cases. Credit card fraud is one of the most common types of fraud committed in the South Florida area. Credit card fraud occurs when an individual with criminal intent uses fake or stolen credit cards to obtain money or purchase goods. Typically, the stolen cards or account numbers are used without the knowledge or approval of the rightful owner. Due to the increased number of credit card offenses, Florida laws have been enacted and penalties increased to curtail the rampant problem. Credit card fraud penalties may include probation, county jail or state prison time.
