Under Investigation For Fraud?
The government’s timeline is already running. Get ahead of the charging decision.
Federal Fraud Defense
Wire, Mail & Bank Fraud Attorneys
Wire fraud, mail fraud, bank fraud, securities fraud, PPP and program fraud - federal fraud statutes are broad enough to reach almost any business dispute the government chooses to charge. The defense starts long before trial.
In most fraud cases, the government has been investigating for months – sometimes years – before you ever hear about it. The moment you learn of an investigation is the moment to get counsel.
Why Fraud Cases Are Different
Paper Wars, Fought Early
Federal fraud prosecutions are built on documents – emails, wires, bank records, and cooperating witnesses assembled through grand jury subpoenas. By the time charges are filed, the government believes it has the story locked in.
That is why the pre-indictment phase matters so much. Presenting exculpatory evidence, challenging the government’s theory of intent, and negotiating scope with the U.S. Attorney’s Office can change the entire trajectory of a case – sometimes ending it without charges.
Cases We Handle
Federal Fraud Charges We
Defend
Federal fraud counts carry up to 20-30 years each, and loss amount drives the sentence. Intent is almost always the battleground.
Wire Fraud (18 U.S.C. § 1343)
Any alleged scheme using interstate wires - emails, calls, transfers. The government's favorite charge.
Mail Fraud (18 U.S.C. § 1341)
Schemes using the mail or commercial carriers, routinely charged alongside wire fraud.
Bank Fraud (18 U.S.C. § 1344)
Alleged schemes to defraud financial institutions, from loan applications to check schemes.
Securities Fraud
Insider trading, market manipulation, and investor-fraud allegations, often with parallel SEC actions.
PPP & Program Fraud
COVID-relief, SBA, and federal program fraud prosecutions active in both Florida and Michigan.
Aggravated Identity Theft
Carries a mandatory two-year consecutive sentence - charging leverage we work to remove.

Fraud Case Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
A scheme to defraud, specific intent to defraud, and use of interstate wires in furtherance of the scheme. Intent is usually the decisive battleground – an honest business failure is not fraud.
Not necessarily – you may be a witness, subject, or target, and how you respond can determine which. Never produce documents or testify without counsel assessing your exposure first.
Depending on loss amount, role, and the guidelines calculation, outcomes range from declination to probation to substantially reduced custody. Loss calculation is the biggest sentencing fight in fraud cases – and it is very much contestable.
