Los Angeles attorney defends clients against unemployment claim fraud
The Californer/10095831

LOS ANGELES - Californer -- Have you been accused of unemployment claim fraud?

If so, one rising criminal defense attorney serving clients across Southern California wants to help.

Jasmine Mines, Esq. is a California attorney who represents people accused of unemployment insurance fraud. Her goal is to analyze all the facts of their cases to determine if there's an avenue to pursue to get her clients' charges reduced or dismissed.

Across the area, reports are rising of special task forces spying on people withdrawing from ATMs with prepaid Employment Development Department (EDD) debit cards issued to deliver unemployment benefit payments. According to Mines, the individuals who have contacted her are then being charged with identity theft or wire fraud, depending on the circumstances.

Mines intends to investigate whether these special task forces are violating citizens'  civil liberties by spying on their behavior.

"At a time when more people are unemployed due to the pandemic and economic downturn, this is just one tactic law enforcement is now using to crack down on crime," Mines said. "Unfortunately, it is being done at the expense of the civil liberties of the accused. If you have been arrested in conjunction with an alleged unemployment claim fraud crime and think you may have been treated unjustly, please call my office to schedule your free consultation. I'm here to help."
