Identity Theft

Irvine Identity Theft and Credit Card Fraud Lawyer

"I'll stand up for anyone and stand between them and their accusers or the government."

Identity theft is growing in both its frequency and stature. As identity theft has risen in profile, the penalties are becoming more harsh. At the law office of David E. Swanson in Irvine, California, we have represented numerous clients charged with identity theft and fraud.

Just as in any other theft and burglary crime, we will communicate with the victim to see if restitution is an alternative option to filing criminal charges being filed. If charges already have been filed, we will still strive to resolve the matter through restitution and having the charges dropped.

Drug problems can be a large factor leading someone to commit identity theft. If an abuse problem is identified early on, negotiations will commence with the prosecution to address the issue in some form of diversion program or drug treatment as an alternative to jail. At the law office of David E. Swanson, we understand that crime is committed for various motivations and needs, not just to do harm to another person.
