The legal defense of False Accusation is a valid legal defense. If you are facing criminal charges due to another person’s false accusations, you need to speak to a lawyer.
If it’s a simple case of mistaken identity, it’s possible an attorney can ask the accuser to retract their allegation. However, a simple resolution is rare, and you may need to present evidence and vigorously and aggressively defend your innocence. Several reasons exist for false accusation:
- Honest mistake (believing a person is properly identified when in fact they are incorrect)
- Revenge or greed
- Lack of probable cause
- Cover-up of other crimes
Making a false accusation about a crime is a crime in and of itself. Depending on the circumstances, you may be able to pursue a civil claim against the accuser, but first you will have to prove you are innocent. If you are facing false allegations, or believe you are wrongly and falsely accused of a criminal act, you should not waste any time contacting our legal team.
We can help you protect your rights, protect your name and reputation, and take immediate steps to ensure your future is protected. We will work with you to effectively raise a legal defense and fight the charges.
