Military Fraud Crimes
Criminal Defense from Our Military Attorney
A service member may commit fraud in a number of ways and may face varied penalties under court-martial. Fraud itself is the act or attempt of using deceit to take another’s property, money or services.
What is Misrepresentation?
Misrepresentation is another form of fraud, wherein the perpetrator deceives
the victim into believing something is true. Whether or not the attempt
or scheme to commit fraud is successful, the attempt alone may be enough
to result in charges and even a conviction.

administrative discharge? Guy L. Womack & Associates, P.C. may be able to help. With over 20

Fraud charges involve the intent of the accused, as he or she would need to know that the information provided was false, forged or fraudulent. A court-martial conviction for fraud may result in confinement, dishonorable discharge and a number of other serious penalties, depending upon the particular case. Generally speaking, fraud against the government is one of the most serious forms of fraud charges that a service member may face, but any conviction of this kind may be extremely serious.
