IDENTITY THEFT
   
What is Identity theft?
 

Identity theft is using someone else's name or personal information to get money, goods or information, or commit an illegal act.

  Examples:      
 
  • Pretending you are someone else to get their medical records.

  • Using someone else's social security number as your own.

  Penalties:      
 
  • Up to 5 years in prison and/or $25,000

What Defenses Are There?

  Gift:
    The person whose information you used to get property gave you the property as a gift, and you have the right to that property. For example, your grandmother buys you a new TV and you use her name to pick it up at the store.
  Authorization:
    You used someone else's information because a law or court order allowed you to. For example, when someone gives you "Power of Attorney" you can use their personal information to acquire goods or services on their behalf.
  Consent:
    You got permission from the person whose information you used. For example, you dad gives you his social security  and account number so you can call his mortgage company for him. You use your parents credit card to buy clothes.

Why Hire the Ambrose Law Group for your Case?

 

We are Michigan Criminal Defense lawyers located in Walled Lake, Troy, Berkley, Roseville, and Oxford. We offer FREE case evaluations, and will give you personalized advice and information so that you know what you are up against and understand what defenses you have. We have the experience, the knowledge, and the resources to protect you.

Not all law firms are the same! Where most Criminal Defense Attorneys work alone, the Ambrose Law Group has a staff of trial lawyers to investigate, prepare, and defend you at trial! The lawyers of the Ambrose Law Group are graduates of the National Criminal Defense College, The Western Trial Advocacy Institute, and Gerry Spence's Trial Lawyer's College.

We engage in full discovery in every case. We can’t advise you on the best course of action in your case until we know everything about it. When we are hired, we immediately demand the police reports, all video and audio recordings, and booking videos before the police have an opportunity to destroy them. Only after having reviewed the police reports and videos can we advise you on how to best resolve your case.

You may have defenses that other lawyers will not find for you. You should not simply walk into court and plead guilty without first having your case evaluated by a skilled, knowledgeable and trial-tested lawyer. Not all cases are defendable, but all situations are explainable. It only makes sense to know all of your options before making a decision that will affect the rest of your life.
