Wire Fraud

Wire Fraud Attorney – Brett A. Podolsky

Wire fraud is a white-collar crime that occurs when an individual uses deceptive measures and any type of electronic communication to deprive other people of their money or property. Electronic communication consists of the Internet, telephone, radio or television. Wire fraud is typically classified as a white-collar crime because it is a crime against property rather than people. Furthermore, a wire fraud charge often becomes a federal wire fraud charge because the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulates telephone lines, radio airwaves and television broadcasts. However, it does not govern the Internet. Federal authorities might also get involved if a wire fraud crime concerns residents of several states.

Contact the Law Office of Brett A. Podolsky today if you have been charged with wire fraud. Brett’s years of experience will provide the best results possible. Contact his office today to schedule a consultation.

The following are some common examples of wire fraud:

  • Chain letters
  • Check cashing conspiracies
  • Investment scams
  • Pyramid schemes
  • Payment for services that were never rendered

Possible Punishments for Wire Fraud

If a person is found guilty of committing wire fraud, he could face harsh sanctions that may include up to 20 years in prison. The penalties may increase substantially if the crime is perpetrated against a financial institution. In that case, the maximum penalty can be:

  • Up to 30 years in prison
  • Up to $1,000,000 in criminal fines

Sometimes, individuals who are accused of committing wire fraud may be charged and convicted of mail fraud as well. In such cases, the following sanctions may be tacked on to a defendant’s sentence:

  • Up to five years in prison
  • Up to $250,000 in criminal fines

It is important to note that individuals who are sentenced to federal penitentiaries must serve their entire prison terms, since parole is not an option in these correctional facilities. A defendant clearly has a lot to lose if he is convicted of wire fraud. Thus, it is extremely important for accused persons to seek legal advice from a skilled wire fraud attorney.

Why Should I Hire a Wire Fraud Lawyer?

There are several reasons why a person should hire a wire fraud attorney to represent him in a court of law. The amount of evidence in a wire fraud case is often mountainous, and it is necessary to have a dedicated individual who will pore over the data and prepare a sturdy legal defense. During his analysis, a wire fraud defense lawyer will focus on uncovering any evidence that might have been obtained illegally. By doing so, he may be able to suppress some of the faulty evidence before the trial begins. This can sometimes significantly raise the odds of a favorable outcome.
