Criminal Defense

If you are being charged with a crime by the DA, then you have a right to an attorney paid for by the state. Most counties have a Public Defender. You should contact the PD office immediately and request representation and discovery as to who prompted the DA to file charges. The DA will not prosecute unless a formal complaint is made. So request that discovery. Additionally, go over the allegations with a good civil attorney, as charging someone with fraud is defamation per se.

I hope this helps put you on the right path.
