Fraud and Forgery Charges in Houston

Fraud and forgery cases can come with serious criminal penalties, but the damage often starts long before the courtroom. Accusations alone can affect your career, reputation, and financial stability. If you're being investigated or have been charged with a financial crime in Houston or Harris County, you need a legal team that understands how to handle these complex cases.


At Parrish Law Firm, we defend clients charged with fraud, forgery, and other white collar offenses. These cases are often built on paperwork, financial records, digital evidence, and testimony. The charges may sound simple, but the details are rarely straightforward. We work to uncover what really happened and challenge assumptions before they turn into convictions.

Identity Theft or Tampering with Government Records

Possessing or using someone else’s personal information, especially for financial gain, can result in enhanced charges and separate federal review.

How We Approach Financial Crime Cases

We take time to review the evidence and identify weaknesses in the state’s case. Financial records can be misinterpreted, digital connections can be misattributed, and intent is not always clear. We look at every part of the investigation, from how the charge was filed to how the evidence was handled.

When appropriate, we work to resolve cases through negotiation, restitution, or reduction. If the charges are weak or unsupported, we prepare for dismissal or trial.
