Chicopee, MA asked in Federal Crimes and Identity Theft for Massachusetts

Q: what type of lawyer do I need for a fraud?

Rental agreement, banking.

2 Lawyer Answers

A: A Massachusetts attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. If you're the one being accused of the fraud, and it has risen to a criminal level (insurance company or public agency making an accusation of fraud), then a criminal defense attorney consult could be a starting point. If you're the claimant, arguing that the other side acted fraudulently in a business matter or tort matter, you could reach out to civil litigation attorneys (possibly involving landlord-tenant attorneys - you mention a rental agreement??) A few phone calls might help zero in exactly what kind of attorney or law firm is in the best position to assist here. Good luck
