Pittsburgh Mail and Wire Fraud Attorneys

Mail fraud involves using the United States mail system to defraud other people of goods or services, and wire fraud is the same type of situation but can use television, radio, and other methods. These both carry serious penalties that are dependent on certain circumstances in each case, such as whether there was a pattern of defrauding a class of people or the general public, as opposed to a specific person, and whether the conduct was ongoing in nature. How severe the penalty for fraud of the mail system or wire fraud is for an individual will depend on the behaviors involved, and what can be proven about the person’s actions, goals, and intent. If you are facing these types of charges, you need to consult fraud defense attorneys who can help you make your case.

A Former Prosecutor Will Come to Your Defense

A conviction for mail or wire fraud would be highly damaging, and could affect your life and livelihood for a number of years. If you work in a professional capacity or people in your community or your profession consider you to be well-known, a conviction could be something from which you would never really recover. With that in mind, your career could end and your personal life could be decimated. How do we know all this? Because our defense team used to be prosecutors, and we know the ruthlessness that many prosecutors use to make their case against the accused.

Since we have experience on the other side, we know how to make arguments against the prosecution that provides you with an advantage in your defense. We can paint you in the best light to receive the best possible outcome for your case.
