Start with the agreement as it stood at the time
Keep the original estimate, contract and messages about the promised work or payment. Identify changes in scope, who authorized them and when they occurred. Separate what you personally communicated from statements attributed to someone else. Later disagreement should not be allowed to obscure the original sequence or missing parts of the records.
Connect each payment to the representation alleged
Create a short chronology of invoices, transfers, delivery records and complaints. Mark where the prosecution’s account appears to rely on a particular statement or omission. Fraud concerns dishonesty and deprivation, which can include economic risk; a disputed bill alone does not explain the whole legal question. Counsel can compare the allegation with the complete record.
Preserve later settlement discussions without promising an outcome
Keep refund requests, repayments and proposed settlements separate from the original transaction history. Private repayment does not itself decide whether a prosecution continues. Do not revise invoices, erase unfavourable exchanges or contact a person contrary to release terms in an effort to resolve the case. Ask how any civil and criminal issues should be addressed.
Preparing for the first conversation
- Original agreement, variations and relevant communications.
- Payment and delivery records matched to the alleged events.
- Exact charge wording and the statement or transaction disputed.
- Later complaint, refund or settlement records in a separate group.
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
Should I include records that seem unfavourable?
Yes. A complete record helps counsel assess the allegation and avoid relying on a misleading selection. Preserve originals rather than editing the account.
Will a refund end the criminal case?
Not automatically. A private repayment or settlement does not itself determine the prosecutor’s decision. Its significance requires case-specific advice.
What if an invoice was corrected later?
Keep both versions and the communication explaining the change. Record when it happened and who made it; do not overwrite the earlier version.
