Skilled Atlanta fraud attorneys understand that fraud and misrepresentation (once collectively recognized as "deceit") are serious plagues on our country's modern business environment. A victim of corporate fraud often suffers greatly because of the lies, misrepresentations, or concealments made by a corporate officer, accountant ("accounting fraud"), contractor, competitor, or other related entity. An experienced Atlanta corporate fraud attorney can help you to identify if your business has been harmed as a result of fraudulent activities.

       The strongest claims of fraud involve an intentional misrepresentation of fact. However, fraud also includes making statements or acting recklessly, without knowledge of falsity, or failing to disclose material facts. Additionally, Congress and most states have enacted antifraud statutes specifically governing certain transactions, such as those involving the sale of consumer goods, stocks and securities, mail and electronic communications, accounting practices, and the submission of claims to the government. Common examples include:

• Misrepresentation of assets
• Concealment of expenses
• Concealment of defects
• Securities and stock fraud
• Sale of worthless or unsuitable property, notes, or shares
• Accounting fraud
