See, the cops think this is simple – you used a card, must be fraud, case closed. But we don’t back down that easy. We’re going to dig into their so-called “evidence” until we strike gold — that shred of doubt that wins cases.
Picture this: some hacker in Hong Kong steals your card info. Starts buying watches and jets in your name. But you haven’t used that card in months. Still, the cops blame you. Why? Your name’s on it.
We call that lazy police work. Jumping to conclusions instead of doing real detective work. You know what we call it? Reasonable doubt. And we expose questionable cases like this all the time.
Let’s break down how we win. It starts by poking holes. Cops cut corners when they’re under pressure to close cases fast. We exploit those missteps. Evidence gathered improperly? Tossed. Witness seeming sketchy? We shred their testimony in court.
Here’s the major key alert of credit card fraud cases – the burden of proof is on the prosecution. And we capitalize at every single turn.
That’s just defense. We play offense too. Say you let your friend borrow your card for gas. But he went shopping instead. We track him down, subpoena receipts, paint the real story to highlight your innocence.
Here’s the truth. The system is broken. Good people get chewed up every day. We didn’t become lawyers to prop up a crooked system. We’re going to defend you against these bogus charges relentlessly until justice wins.
Here’s something they won’t tell you – most fraud cases end in plea deals. Scared people getting pressured into convictions. Well we don’t take bad deals. We’d rather duke it out in court than bow down to injustice.
