San Diego Wire Fraud Defense Attorney
Experienced Southern California Wire Fraud Lawyer
Wire fraud occurs when a person knowingly defrauds or attempts to defraud a person or persons by using interstate wire communications (television, telephone, radio or internet modem). This is a federal offense and is punishable by up to 20 years in state prison, along with fines. If a financial institution is affected, this is punishable by a state prison sentence of up to 30 years and/or a fine of up to $1,000,000. In addition to being backed by federal law enforcement authorities, wire fraud charges are complex and often involve extensive federal investigations long before charges are ever filed.
If you have been accused of wire fraud, it is important to discuss your situation with a capable criminal defense lawyer who understands the ins and outs of federal laws regulating wire fraud and interstate wire transactions. By consulting a lawyer as soon as possible, you will be able to understand your rights and your legal options regarding your interstate wire fraud charge. Your lawyer should also have the ability to fully investigate your charges independently from law enforcement, to ensure everything was done properly and that your rights were not infringed upon.
