Fraud

Ohio Fraud Attorneys

When an individual's or a company's personal or business assets have been drained as a result of fraud, the injured party may face another discouraging prospect – the inability to find the resources to pursue recovery. At the Associated Offices of Dennis Seaman & Associates, Co., L.P.A., and Garson & Associates, Co., L.P.A. (Seaman & Garson), in Cleveland, Ohio, our attorneys provide those who suffered substantial losses as a result of fraud with an alternative. Our lawyers typically provide representation to plaintiffs on a contingency fee basis, charging no attorney fees, unless we resolve the matter beneficially for our client.*

If you have been defrauded and suffered a serious loss as a result of this deception, please contact our Cleveland office and make arrangements for a free consultation with an experienced business litigation attorney. We are committed to providing individuals and smaller businesses with the exceptional quality of representation that protects their interests when facing large and well-capitalized corporations.

Fraud is the making of an intentional deception, misrepresentation, or false statement; the promise of performance without any intent of fulfilling that promise; and/or a statement that the maker knows to be false with the intent of profiting by that deceptive act. Common areas of fraud include the following:

• investment fraud
• ponzi schemes
• securities fraud
• residential and commercial real estate
• bait and switch
• confidence games
• false advertising
• false billing
• forgery
• embezzlement
• bankruptcy fraud
• creation of false companies (shell games)

In representative cases, our attorneys have favorably settled a case involving fraudulent inducement to enter into a commercial lease, representing a small business owner against a large national real estate firm and favorably settled a claim for the sale of unregistered securities and fraud brought on behalf of an investor who was sold promissory note investments shortly before the issuing company declared bankruptcy.
