    Frequently Asked Fraud Defense Questions:

    How long do fraud investigations take in Maryland?

    Fraud investigations can last months or even years, especially in complex financial cases. If you learn that you are under investigation, contact an attorney immediately. Early legal intervention can sometimes prevent charges from being filed and protect your interests during the investigative process.

    Can I be charged with fraud if I did not intend to deceive anyone?

    Intent is a critical element in most fraud cases. The prosecution must generally prove that you knowingly engaged in deceptive conduct with the intent to defraud. Our attorneys work to demonstrate the absence of fraudulent intent when the evidence supports that defense.

    What is the difference between state and federal fraud charges?

    State fraud charges are prosecuted by Maryland authorities and involve offenses under state law. Federal fraud charges apply when the alleged fraud crosses state lines, involves federal agencies, or uses instruments of interstate commerce like the mail or internet. Federal cases typically carry harsher sentences.

    What are the penalties for fraud in Maryland?

    Fraud penalties in Maryland depend on the type and scale of the offense. Theft-related fraud involving amounts under $1,500 is a misdemeanor, while fraud involving larger amounts can be a felony carrying up to 25 years in prison. Federal fraud charges can carry even steeper penalties and mandatory restitution.

    I found Killian Law Group through a Google search and decided to contact them based on their outstanding reviews. I can confidently say they exceeded my expectations! I had the pleasure of working with Allison, who handled my case with exceptional professionalism, expertise, and care. I walked into the courtroom feeling extremely nervous and uncertain, but within minutes, I walked out with my case dismissed and an overwhelming sense of relief. Throughout the entire process, Allison was reassuring, attentive, and committed to making sure I felt informed and confident. She turned what could have been a stressful experience into one of the smoothest and most positive legal experiences I’ve had. I am incredibly grateful for her representation and highly recommend Killian Law Group to anyone seeking knowledgeable, compassionate, and effective legal counsel. Thank you again, Allison and the entire Killian Law Group team, for your outstanding service!

    I highly recommend Killian Law Group! My son received a ticket in Ocean City about two years ago. At the time, I didn’t really know what to do, so I paid the fine, and unfortunately, it later resulted in an issue with his driver’s license being suspended. When I met with the attorneys at Killian Law Group, they immediately explained that they could reopen the case and fight to have the charges dismissed. They did exactly what they said they would do! The charges were dismissed, the two citations were removed, we are receiving a refund for the money that was previously paid, and the suspension connected to those tickets is being cleared. They were also very reasonably priced and willing to work with me. This was my first time having to hire an attorney, and I was expecting the process to be stressful, but it was the complete opposite. I didn’t have to constantly call, send emails, or chase anyone down for updates. They handled everything and kept us informed throughout the process. As a mother, having that stress taken off my shoulders meant so much to me. I truly felt like I got my money’s worth and that my son’s case was in good hands. Thank you to Oleg, Allison, and the entire Killian Law Group team for helping my son and our family. Any legal issues I may have in the future, Killian Law Group will definitely be the first law firm I call. I highly recommend them! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    I am so happy I was recommended to call Alex at Killian Law Group. I called at 8:30 at night left message thinking I would hear back from someone in a day or two but Alex called me within 5 minutes and from that point on I felt he was there for me. I was in a bad head on collision (not my fault at all) and had never gone through anything like that…. Car totaled, in ambulance on way to hospital in a lot of pain and stayed overnight in hospital. Then you go home and realize you have no car, a long way to recovery but my phone call to Alex got the ball rolling. Alex and Jennifer were always there for me at anytime and kept me updated on everything. I highly recommend Killian Law Group they will help guide you all the way and they work hard to make things right for you. Thank you very much Alex and Jennifer!!
