Mail Fraud Defense Lawyer in Brooklyn

Brooklyn Wire Fraud Defense Attorney

Mail fraud and wire fraud are federal criminal offenses used to charge a wide variety of criminal activity.  The penalties are severe and require strong criminal defense.  If you have been arrested on either mail fraud or wire fraud you are urged to contact a Brooklyn criminal defense attorney for vigorous defense. 

Mail Fraud

Mail fraud may be charged for using the mails to carry on any fraudulent scheme.  Anyone using the mail to obtain funds by misrepresentation is vulnerable.  The maximum penalty is five years in jail and up to $100,000 in fines. The postal service has inspectors throughout the country alert to mail fraud violations.  If there is sufficient evidence inspectors may seek court orders to block mail where there is a threat to public health or safety.

Wire Fraud

This is a similar charge for the use of electronic means to forward a fraudulent scheme including wire, radio or television.  To prove the charge, the government must establish a material misrepresentation, intent to defraud and use of telecommunications. The prison sentence is a possible 20 years or, if a financial institution is hurt, up to 30 years with a fine of up to $1,000,000.
