Check fraud
A check is a legal agreement to pay a business or individual. If you write a check on account that does not have sufficient funds to cover the check, or on an account that has been closed, you can be charged with check fraud in South Carolina. In addition, if the charges include using another person’s name on the check, you could be charged with forgery and identity theft. A South Carolina check fraud lawyer is necessary to defend yourself against such charges.
Credit card fraud
Credit card fraud involves the use of a revoked or fraudulent credit card or credit card numbers to obtain property or services. Credit card fraud is often closely linked to Internet fraud and identity theft. If you have been accused this crime, Mr. Swerling can act as your South Carolina credit card fraud attorney.

Investment and securities fraud charges can be filed against an officer or director of a company for actions that include:
- Making a material misrepresentation about the company or its stock value
