Mississauga, Brampton and Newmarket White Collar Crime Law Firm
If you are under investigation for or have been charged with fraud, theft, breach of trust, or any other white collar or financial crime, it is critical that you find a defence lawyer with experience handling complex cases. The penalties for conviction are severe, so your choice of lawyer is critical.
I am Toronto fraud defence lawyer Anthony De Marco. I have more than 25 years of experience defending clients against all types of fraud in Ontario. I have built my practice on a foundation of thorough preparation. I create legal strategies to challenge the prosecution's case based on the unique circumstances and evidence in your case.
Skillful Defence Against Fraud and Breach of Trust Charges
I defend clients against all types of fraud charges, including:

Alleged Fraud of More Than $1 Million
As of November 2011, anyone convicted of a fraud involving over $1 million faces a mandatory minimum sentence of two years in federal prison. There is no eligibility for house arrest. Though $1 million sounds like a lot of money, many fraud schemes add up to this amount fairly quickly. The harsh consequences of a conviction for this kind of activity demand the attention of a skilled Toronto defence lawyer.
Ponzi Schemes
A number of Ponzi schemes have been exposed throughout Canada in recent years. If you are accused of operating a Ponzi scheme, you know that you are facing some of the harshest penalties available for financial crimes. If you choose me to represent you, I will immediately begin investigating all the circumstances, bringing in forensic accountants and other experts when necessary, to create a strong defence on your behalf.
A conviction for fraud offences may result in a restitution order and jail time. Did you know that restitution orders in fraud cases survive bankruptcy? That means that if restitution is ordered, it must be paid and cannot be avoided for the rest of your life. Having the right representation on your side is critical.
