Wire Fraud Lawyer Tampa, FL

Most of us are only familiar with wire fraud from movies or TV or because it’s a method the Federal Government uses to take apart organized crime syndicates. So, many of our clients are surprised to find themselves facing wire fraud charges. Don’t make the mistake of dismissing the seriousness of wire fraud charges, though. Wire fraud charges include a wide range of activities, all with the common denominator of using phone lines or the internet (“wires”) in the commission of the crime or to facilitate the commission of the crime.

Wire fraud covers a lot of ground, from Medicaid fraud to cheating on your taxes or using stolen credit card information. If convicted of wire fraud, you could face decades in federal prison, as well as paying restitution or heavy fines. Some unfortunate people accused of wire fraud may also face civil litigation in the form of a lawsuit filed by the alleged victim.

Wire fraud charges should be taken seriously, and you need a strong team of defense attorneys, like those at Stechschulte Nell, by your side. We protect your rights and fight hard on your behalf. Learn more about all the ways we can protect your freedom and future with a phone call to a Tampa, FL, wire fraud lawyer from our firm.

How A Tampa Wire Fraud Lawyer Can Help You

As your legal defense team, we begin our advocacy for you with a complete investigation of the charges and incidents surrounding them. We’ve often found that wire fraud charges may stem from an over-zealous prosecutor who filed charges against someone who made a simple mistake. Healthcare fraud (including Medicaid waste or abuse), tax fraud, insurance or bank fraud, or even mail fraud charges may stem from a mistake or misunderstanding on your end. We help make your voice heard and build a case on your behalf to contest these charges.

We also investigate how evidence against you was gathered and whether your constitutional rights were violated in the process. Our investigators can interview witnesses, collect our own evidence, and use fine points of federal law to attack the case the prosecution is building against you. As your attorney, we vigorously defend you in court and present powerful arguments on your behalf.

Wire Fraud Charges Can Lead To Decades In Federal Prison

Wire fraud crimes occur when someone concocts a scheme to defraud another person or entity (like a bank or insurance company) for their own financial gain using some sort of electronic communication. For wire fraud to reach a federal level (which it almost always does), the crime must involve interstate or foreign commerce.

For example, if an email or Zoom call was involved in a fraud scheme, wire fraud charges may be filed. Sometimes, a prosecutor files wire fraud charges because they don’t have enough evidence for other charges and hope the wire fraud investigation will uncover more evidence they can use. We defend against these tactics and protect you from excessive prosecution.
