St. Louis Fraud Lawyer

Fraud charges can be prosecuted at the state or federal level. If your case is prosecuted in the federal courts, you will be facing harsh penalties. It is crucial to work with an attorney who has handled fraud charges in both the state and federal courts.

In fraud cases, the most damaging evidence is often the information you give to the police. Before you speak with the police, call The Hammer Law Firm at 314-266-7821.

Our firm's founding attorney Mark A. Hammer has more than 25 years of experience as a lawyer, including more than 13 years as a prosecutor. Mr. Hammer knows the evidence and strategies that the prosecution will use to build its case against you. This experience gives his clients a distinct advantage when negotiating plea arrangements or pushing for a full jury trial.
