Fraud Lawyer in Brampton

Aftermath Law provides advice from a criminal lawyer to Brampton clients who are under investigation or charged with fraud. A useful consultation identifies the allegation, your role in the events and the decision ahead. Dildeep Sahi works from the firm’s appointment-only Mississauga office. Seeking defence advice is a different task from pursuing a civil claim to recover money or asking for protection.

Identify the request, charge or decision in front of you

Bring the actual police communication, charge papers or written proposal that prompted the enquiry. Explain who sent it, what response has been requested and any known date. Keep a demand for repayment or a civil document separate from criminal papers so counsel can identify the issues needing assessment. Say whether you have already given a statement, supplied records or retained another lawyer. Before giving a voluntary account to police, obtain advice about your position and any specific obligation to respond.

Show what authority you had and what you actually did

A transaction may involve someone requesting a payment, someone approving it and someone processing it. Identify your part without treating a job title, account name or signature as the complete explanation. Keep any relevant authorization, approval message, contract, instruction or access record you can lawfully obtain. Distinguish general access to an account from the records of a particular disputed step. Mark what you know personally and what you learned later. These details help counsel examine the allegation rather than infer a person’s role from a single document.

Connect the disputed steps to the original records

Prepare a short list of the transactions or representations being questioned. For each, identify the date, the record that documents it and the explanation or context you want reviewed. Keep complete messages, agreements, invoices and statements as they were received. Separate missing records from those you hold, and identify who may have the missing material so counsel can consider lawful ways to obtain it. Do not use another person’s login, change an invoice, backdate an approval or create a replacement record to fill a gap. Keep account numbers and credentials out of the initial website enquiry.

Use disclosure to frame focused defence questions

List the disclosure received and any referenced documents or recordings that appear to be missing. Identify where the alleged account differs from the original records or your recollection, using separate notes rather than changing the evidence. Questions may concern what was represented, what was known at the time, whose instructions were followed and how money or property was affected. Counsel can assess the record and applicable law before advising about further information, discussions with the prosecution or trial preparation. A failed transaction or an unpaid amount should not be treated as the complete legal analysis.

Check restrictions before contacting anyone or proposing repayment

Keep current release terms, court papers and later directions together. Tell counsel about any restriction involving a person, workplace or account before attempting to explain a transaction, request documents or discuss repayment. A proposed private arrangement does not itself change a court order or determine what happens to a prosecution. Use the actual court and event instructions for your case; living in Brampton does not by itself assign the venue. A consultation request does not excuse attendance or mean counsel has agreed to appear.

Arrange a focused consultation from the Mississauga office

Brampton clients are served from 250 Dundas Street West, Suite 402, Mississauga, with visits by appointment. The free initial consultation concerns the situation, options and potential representation. State the allegation, next known date and the work you want considered. A detailed financial-record review, legal opinion, negotiation or court appearance requires an agreed scope after the firm reviews the matter and conflicts. Consultations are available in English, Punjabi and Hindi. Civil recovery is separate from defending a criminal fraud allegation. Identify any related demand or order for criminal counsel and arrange separate civil advice where needed.

Preparing for the first conversation

The actual allegation or police request, current stage and next known response or court date.
Complete criminal papers and current restrictions, with civil demands or other proceedings identified separately.
Records of your role, instructions, approvals and account access that you may lawfully provide.
A short disputed-transaction list connecting each issue to its original records and any missing material.
Disclosure received and specific questions about representations, authority or context.
Details of counsel already involved and any Legal Aid certificate; arrange financial-record delivery directly and omit account credentials from the enquiry.

Keep the initial website enquiry brief. Do not upload or send sensitive documents through the form; arrange any document review directly with the firm.

You do not need every item before getting in touch. Mention any approaching court or response date.

Common questions

Does this page cover recovering money from someone I believe defrauded me?

This page explains criminal lawyer services for an investigated or accused person. A civil recovery claim is a separate task. Tell the firm that recovery is your aim before sending records so it can clarify whether the requested work is within the assistance it can offer. A defence consultation does not start a civil claim or guarantee repayment.

What if another person approved the transaction?

Preserve the approval and the complete surrounding communications. Explain who gave the instruction, what you understood it to cover and what you did. An approval may be important evidence, but its effect on the allegation needs assessment; do not assume it automatically ends the case.

Can I obtain missing records through another person’s account?

Do not use someone else’s login or access records without lawful authority. Identify the material and who may hold it so counsel can discuss an appropriate way to obtain it. Preserve the original records you already lawfully have without altering them.

Will offering repayment automatically end a fraud charge?

No. Repayment or a private settlement does not itself decide whether the prosecution continues. Discuss any proposal with counsel, including its effect on the case and any contact or other restrictions, before acting.

Is the full financial-record review included in the free consultation?

No. The initial discussion concerns your situation, options and potential representation. Detailed document review, a legal opinion and further defence work must be separately agreed after the firm’s initial review and conflict check. Keep the enquiry brief and arrange sensitive-document delivery directly.
