About Hawaii Fraud Crimes

Hawaii fraud crimes include a range of fraudulent activity such as welfare fraud, embezzlement, tax evasion, credit card fraud, check fraud, bank or mortgage fraud, insurance fraud, healthcare fraud, fraudulent prescriptions for drugs, etc.   In military situations receiving overpayment on housing allowance, travel vouchers, and other family pay allowances can result in a criminal investigation by OSI, NCIS or CID.  This investigation can happen against military members, dependents, DOD civilians, as well.  You need a fraud crimes defense attorney if you are charged or under investigation for this and any other such crime.  A determined defense lawyer may be able to prove that you are innocent of the charges by showing that not all of the criteria for fraud have been met.  For instance, if you did not know that a statement was false or had no criminal intent to deceive another person from whom something was gained, charges may be dropped against you.
