Any type of fraud charge needs a robust defense. There can be multiple possible ways of fighting back against federal fraud charges. Every fraud charge has its own set of elements that the prosecution must prove in order to achieve a conviction. If one of those elements is missing, this can upend the prosecution’s entire case.
For example, take the charge of wire fraud, one of the most commonly-charged types of federal fraud. In order to prove that wire fraud has occurred, the accused must have not only taken part in a plan of action to defraud another party, but intended to defraud them, used deception or artifice of a material fact to support the alleged fraud, and have done so through some means of wire communications. Wire communications can span phone, email, or other internet communications. However, if the element of intent is missing, for instance, the prosecution’s case can fall flat.
Beyond lack of intent, mistaken identity or even an honest mistake committed by the accused could be lodged as a defense. Demonstrating that the alleged underlying action was not carried out for the purpose of committing fraud could also be a defense. A Boca Raton attorney that regularly defends federal fraud cases can identify the most winning defense strategies according to the facts and circumstances involved.
There are many types of federal fraud charges that our Boca Raton lawyers litigate for clients. Some of the most common types of federal fraud charges include mail fraud, wire fraud, and healthcare fraud. Identity theft, computer fraud, credit card fraud, and insurance fraud can also be charged at the federal level, as can mortgage fraud and bankruptcy fraud.
Alleged fraud that involves a government program, agency, official, employee, or otherwise violates federal law can be charged as a federal rather than a state crime. Imprisonment, fines, restitution, and probation are all on the table in the event of a conviction for federal fraud. In the case of wire fraud, a conviction could mean up to $250,000 of financial penalties and up to 20 years in jail. It is vital to work with top lawyers to avoid the severe penalties that can accompany a federal fraud conviction.
When it comes to fighting federal charges of any kind, you need a lawyer that has extensive experience handling cases involving alleged federal crimes and the prosecutors assigned to these specific cases. Federal fraud matters are no exception.
