  • Embezzlement and other forms of theft from an employer, government agency or other party
  • Identity theft and other computer crimes

Fraud Offenses

In Colorado, fraud crimes are defined as those involving: (1) forgery and related offenses; (2) fraud in obtaining property or services; (3) fraudulent business practices; (4) bribery; (5) Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) offenses; (6) credit and debit card offenses and (7) equity skimming.

Fraud and other white collar criminal cases often involve complicated restitution issues. Some also create complex tax issues and asset forfeiture proceedings. The penalties that may be imposed are often directly related to the amount of money involved, the number of fraudulent transactions, and the amount of planning and preparation that went into the scheme. Mark Langston has more than three decades of experience representing clients accused of various types of fraud offenses.

Identity Theft And Other Financial Computer Crimes

A computer crime is committed when someone accesses a computer, network or system without authorization; causes damage, interruption or impairment of function; or accesses a computer, network or system to commit fraud or theft. The classification or seriousness of the offense is primarily determined by the value of the loss, damage, services or cost of repairs.

A person commits identity theft when he or she: (1) knowingly uses someone else’s personal identifying information, financial identifying information, or financial device without permission or authority in order to obtain cash, credit, property, services, or any other thing of value; (2) possesses this type of information or device with the intent to use it or aid or permit someone else to use it to obtain cash, credit, property, services, or any other thing of value; (3) falsely makes, completes, alters, transfers, passes, or delivers a written instrument or financial device containing any personal or financial identifying information of another with the intent to defraud; (4) knowingly possesses the personal or financial identifying information of another without permission or without lawful authority in order to apply for or complete an application for a financial device or other extension of credit; or (5) possesses this information with the intent to obtain a government-issued document.

Gaming Offenses

Small-stakes gambling is legal in a number of Colorado towns. However, gaming activities are highly regulated and monitored by the state, and there is a complex set of rules governing the conduct of both patrons and business establishments. Boulder attorney Mark Langston is one of a small number of lawyers in Colorado with experience in this specialized field. He successfully defended the first criminal prosecution of a corporation charged with a violation of Colorado’s gaming laws.
