What is a Federal Mail Fraud Crime in Fort Lauderdale?

Mail Fraud is planning, creating, or carrying out a scheme to defraud someone for money or property by using the United States Postal Service or through private carriers by offering products, services, or investment opportunities that do not live up to what it says. Mail fraud is classified as a Federal crime in the State of Florida (and all states).

Examples of mail fraud can include sweepstakes solicitations for a prize or vacation, charity, insurance or even medical fraud. It can also include fake checks and government mailer look-alikes.

Under Federal Law 940. 18 U.S.C. Section 1341 – There are two elements to mail fraud:

Having devised or intending to devise a scheme to defraud or perform specified fraudulent acts.
Use of the mail for the purpose of executing, or attempting to execute the scheme or specified fraudulent acts.

CONSEQUENCES OF FEDERAL MAIL FRAUD

It’s critical to start working with a criminal attorney if you’re facing Federal Mail Fraud allegations in South Florida, as Mail Fraud is a serious crime with serious penalties.

Federal Mail Fraud Defense Strategies

To be convicted of a Federal Mail Fraud crime, federal prosecutors must be able to prove the following:

That you knowingly devised or knowingly were part of the mail fraud scheme you’ve been charged with
False or Fraudulent representations, promises, or pretenses were offered as fact in the fraudulent mailings
You willfully acted with the intent to defraud
You used USPS or private carriers for the purpose of executing your mail fraud scheme to defraud people.

If prosecution can not prove that you intended to defraud someone then they have no case. Part of a solid defense strategy then can include a federal mail fraud defense attorney proving that you didn’t intend to defraud someone.

Another defense tactic that can be used is if you just did what you were told to do and were unaware that you were actually committing fraud. For example, perhaps your boss put fraudulent activity in an envelope then had you mail it out, but you are unaware of what’s in the mail. Then you would not be held liable for mail fraud and this lack of knowledge can be used to defend you.

I had an unfortunate situation with a family member that lead to my arrest and being charged with DV Battery. This was the first time I had ever been arrested so I was very nervous and afraid of what was going to happen to me. After talking with Adam I decided to retain him and let me tell you this was the BEST decision I could have ever made. Adam made me feel so comfortable and confident that everything will turn out the best in my favor. He is professional, ethical and supportive. He was always available too answer any questions or concerns.Not to mention, his team at the office is awesome they are so friendly and welcoming. Anytime I had a question when I called the office they were able to guide me in the rightdirection. They always were in contact with me with any information or updates regarding my case. Adams team is GREAT!Adam delivered, my case was DISMISSED. So if you want an attorney the is gonna fight for you and get the job done retain the BEST there is Adam Rossen!!!

I had an amazing experience with The Rossen Law Firm. The staff were very professional. Attorney Susan Lawson went above and beyond working on my case. We were thoroughly prepared for trial. Mrs. Lawson reviewed hours of body and dash camera footage multiple times and aggressively performed depositions on witnesses and law enforcement.The final outcome for me was the state dropped my case, due to the great work Susan and the Rossen team performed. I didn’t even need to go to trial.This law firm does not play around. They pay attention to detail and they FIGHT FOR YOU!Thank you Adam, team, and a special thank you to Susan for your amazing work! I really appreciate you.

My experience with Rossen Law Firm was excellent. From the consultation to the end.. My attorney Susan Lawson gave my son's case all the time and attention that was needed to be successful in court. She was confident during all the court proceedings. My favorite part was when she said we are family, never once my son and I were treated other then that. I very much appreciate the knowledge and support I received through Rossen Law Firm.
