What Can I Do About Business Fraud?

Miami business attorney Aaron Resnick of Law Offices of Aaron Resnick handles business fraud claims for business owners and investors.

Short Answer

If you believe you were defrauded in a business deal, preserve the exact statement or omission, who made it, when it was made, why it was false, what you relied on, and how that reliance caused loss. A failed deal or broken promise is not automatically fraud. The key issue is often what the other side knew and intended when the representation was made. Potential remedies may include damages, rescission, recovery of property, or related contract and statutory claims, depending on the facts. Act quickly if money or assets are moving.

When Does This Become Urgent?

What Usually Goes Wrong?

Why Miami Experience Matters

Miami deals frequently involve multiple entities, rapid wires, foreign parties, brokers, real estate, and informal introductions. Experience in Miami business fraud matters helps counsel map the people, entities, accounts, and property without being distracted by the deal's surface story. Local knowledge also matters when fast relief, a lis pendens issue, a records subpoena, or coordinated state and federal litigation may affect recovery.

What Should You Have Ready?

• Contracts, offering materials, financial statements, and due diligence records.
• The exact emails, texts, recordings, or presentations containing the representation.
• Wire instructions, bank confirmations, closing statements, and payment records.
• Evidence showing what the speaker knew and when.
• A timeline connecting the representation, reliance, transaction, discovery, and loss.

What Typically Happens Next?

Counsel separates contract disappointment from actionable misrepresentation, identifies responsible parties, and traces the value transferred. The first move may be preservation, a targeted demand, emergency relief, a lawsuit, or coordination with law enforcement when appropriate. Recovery planning should begin before the complaint, because a strong liability theory is incomplete if the assets cannot be found or reached.
