There’s not much that’s more alarming than being accused of a crime you didn’t commit. Although in the eyes of the law you are innocent until proven guilty, being charged with a crime can come with a number of consequences. Unfortunately even though you haven’t been proven guilty, that’s not always how people will see you, and in fact, simply being charged with a crime is often enough to tarnish your reputation.
Take tax fraud for example. Imagine a scenario where you are at home enjoying a cup of coffee with your family when the bad news comes–you’ve been accused of tax fraud. Your family and friends believe that you’re innocent, but what about your coworkers? It’s a truly unfortunate circumstance to find yourself in, but there is hope!
