Understanding Identity Fraud

Since identity fraud is motivated by money and generally does not involve physical violence or force, it is classified as a white-collar crime. The significant financial harm caused to victims has prompted prosecutors to aggressively pursue convictions in identity fraud cases. The penalties for a conviction depend on the monetary value and method of theft. Obtaining someone else’s personal information is sufficient for an identity theft charge, but the situation is much more serious when the information is used fraudulently.

Unlawful use of personal information includes:

  • Applying for credit
  • Wrongfully obtaining government benefits
  • Committing income tax fraud
  • Bankruptcy fraud
  • Healthcare fraud
  • Evading or avoiding arrest

Identity fraud cases are complicated because they can result in charges for the theft of personal information, as well as additional charges based on how the information was used. When another person’s information is used in violation of federal law, the identity fraud charge may be prosecuted in federal court. If convicted, punishment can range from probation to lengthy prison sentences, depending on the specifics of the case.

What are the Penalties for Identity Fraud in Florida?

If convicted of identity fraud in Florida, individuals may face significant consequences, including:

  • Imprisonment: Up to 15 years in state prison for a felony conviction.
  • Fines: Monetary penalties can reach up to $10,000 per offense.
  • Restitution: Court-ordered repayment to victims for financial losses incurred.
  • Probation: Potential probationary periods requiring adherence to strict conditions.

Defenses Against Identity Fraud Charges

When facing identity fraud allegations, effective defense strategies can make a substantial difference in the outcome of your case. Our attorneys may utilize several defenses, including:

  • Lack of Intent: Demonstrating that you did no intent to defraud or deceive another person.
  • Mistaken Identity: Proving that you did not commit the fraudulent acts.
  • Consent: Showing you had permission or authorization to use the alleged victim's information.
  • Insufficient Evidence: Challenging the prosecution's evidence or arguments against you.

Each defense strategy is tailored to the unique circumstances of your case, ensuring a thorough and vigorous defense against identity fraud charges.
