Mail and wire fraud are among the most frequently charged federal crimes — and among the most expansive. The statutes reach any scheme to defraud that makes use of the mail, a phone, or an electronic communication (such as email, text messages, or direct messages), which means that prosecutors have broad tools to bring charges across a wide range of alleged conduct. Each individual mailing, call, or electronic transmission can be charged as a separate count, which means that what begins as a single alleged scheme can quickly become an indictment carrying severe sentencing exposure.
Ford O’Brien Landy LLP defends individuals and companies facing mail and wire fraud charges in federal court. Our clients include executives, officers, brokers, and managers across a range of industries — from startups to large multinational companies. Our attorneys include former prosecutors who understand how these cases are built and where they can be challenged, whether on the sufficiency of the evidence, the intent element, or the government’s charging decisions.
Mail and wire fraud charges frequently accompany other allegations — securities fraud, money laundering, conspiracy — and often run parallel to civil regulatory proceedings. We develop defense strategies that account for that full landscape, protecting clients across all connected fronts.
