Fraud When a wrongdoer makes statement while knowing it is false AND you acted reasonably in reliance on that statement and were harmed, then fraud has been committed against you, and we can help you recover damages. If we have reason to believe that the wrongdoer will abscond with any assets, we can get a court to attach the wrongdoer?s property even before trial when fraud has been committed. Fraud applies both to misstatements of fact AND to failure to disclose relevant facts. Plano Fraud Attorney Contracts?sometimes long complicated documents with sections that are unintelligible to a smart person without a legal education. Despite the fact that most contracts are ridiculously long and ridiculously difficult to understand with a single reading, it is equally ridiculous to expect someone to hire a legal professional to review every contract that they ever sign. Unfortunately, this allows unscrupulous individuals to deceive people into signing contracts that they never would have signed if they knew the terms of the contract. This is considered fraud. For example, if someone represents that they are selling you a 2005 Mustang and when you come to pick up the car they have a 2000 Mustang waiting for you and point to the contract you signed which specifies that the vehicle purchased is a 2000 Mustang you may have a claim for fraud.

Fraud in the factum happens when certain facts or descriptions contained within the contract are intentionally false.
