Fraud Charges in Toronto

Fraud is a criminal offence involving deceit or falsehood for financial gain causing someone else to suffer a financial loss. In Canada, fraud includes acts of dishonesty, such as identity theft, credit card fraud, insurance fraud and corporate fraud. The penalties for fraud can lead to lengthy prison sentences, hefty fines, restitution orders and of course criminal records.

The prosecution must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the accused intentionally deceived the victim and that this deception resulted in financial harm or risk of such harm. However, fraud cases are rarely straightforward. They often involve significant amounts of evidence, such as financial records, emails, contracts, and witness statements, making it essential for a skilled Toronto fraud lawyer to analyze and challenge the evidence meticulously.

What Clients & Judges Say

I would like to thank Mr. MacDonald because you worked really hard on this case, over months, and to achieve a really good outcome for your client, and you were professional and wonderful at every stage and I thank you for that.

Justice M. Devlin

I cannot leave this case without telling counsel that, as I’m entering a third decade as a judge on this bench, I can count on one hand the number of times I have said what I’m about to say to counsel. Gentlemen, your courtesy, your civility and your professionalism with one another and to the Court in these proceedings is, in my view, a testament to your considerable skills as advocates.

MADAM JUSTICE DUNNET

I Feel Like I Owe My Life to Robb. I lost my fiancé, my job, and almost my house when I was first charged with these crimes. It felt like no one stood by me. As soon as I met Robb I had the utmost confidence in him and I knew he was the man for the job. He spent countless hours preparing me for the trial. During the trial, he performed an outstanding cross examination on the man who’d accused me of these crimes. At the end of Robb’s cross examination I knew that no one in the court room believed his side of story. Robb was nothing short of a life-saver.

JOHN HOANG

I had given up hope. I thought there was no way to beat my charges. I spoke to other lawyers before meeting with Robb MacDonald and I was strongly considering entering a guilty plea. When Robb looked at my case, he suggested that we bring a Charter Argument. I didn’t even know what that was. We spent a whole day in court and Robb and the Crown Attorney argued about whether or not my Charter Rights had been violated because I had to wait so long for my trial date. At the end of the day, Robb’s arguments convinced the judge to stay all the charges against me.
