Allegations of fraud or financial crime can have serious legal,

personal, and professional consequences.

These cases are often complex, involving detailed financial investigations,

digital evidence, and regulatory scrutiny. At Murrays Solicitors,

we have over 20 years of experience defending clients against

all types of fraud-related charges —

from benefit fraud to high-value corporate investigations.

​

Whether you are being investigated by the police,

the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), HMRC,

or the Serious Fraud Office (SFO), early legal advice is essential.

We provide clear, strategic guidance and robust representation

from the outset, helping to protect your rights, your reputation, and your future.
