At Sharmin & Sharmin P.A., a Miami false impersonation lawyer can promptly pursue accountability and help restore your peace of mind.
What Is False Impersonation in Florida?
False impersonation, also called false personation, happens when someone assumes another person’s identity or pretends to be an official or authority figure to deceive others for personal gain. Florida treats false impersonation as a criminal offense, but the real-world consequences often appear in credit reports, banking issues, and financial losses. False impersonation can include:
Obtaining property through impersonation: This involves someone pretending to be another person to receive money, goods, or property intended for the real individual.
Impersonating an officer or official: Florida law also prohibits pretending to be a police officer, firefighter, or other state official to influence others or exercise authority.
Home or business access schemes: A person may use a false identity to gain entry to a residence or business, or to access restricted areas.
Whether the impersonator opened accounts in your name or posed as an official to pressure you into paying money, the civil consequences can be just as damaging as the criminal ones. Our firm focuses on the civil side, helping victims pursue compensation and accountability.
Examples of False Personation
False impersonation may involve:
Using your identity to open credit cards or loans
Forging signatures or submitting fake documentation
Receiving funds or property while pretending to be you
Using your name during law enforcement contact to avoid arrest or responsibility
How False Impersonation Can Affect Your Life in Miami
Even one incident can trigger significant damage, including:
Credit damage or inaccurate reporting
Collections attempts for accounts you never opened
Frozen funds, closed accounts, or banking disruptions
Stress, lost time, and out-of-pocket expenses
Many victims find that even after authorities catch the perpetrator, the financial damage remains. Credit bureaus may be slow to remove fraudulent marks, and debt collectors may continue to harass you for money you never owed. Our firm uses the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and Florida laws to push these institutions to correct inaccurate records and compensate you for your stress and financial hardship.
