Pennsylvania Mail Fraud Lawyer
If you have been charged with mail fraud or think you are under investigation by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service and may be charged soon, you are in a frightening situation that could have a severe impact on your life.
Mail fraud is a felony and a federal crime and could send an individual to prison for up to twenty years with fines of up to $250,000, upon conviction.
But just because you have been charged with a mail fraud, does not mean you will be found guilty. In order to be convicted, it must be proven by prosecutors that there was intent to defraud another person or institution in order to be proven guilty of mail fraud.
There are many instances when people who are accused of mail fraud did not intentionally mean to defraud anyone. Even if evidence is mounting against you, a strong legal defense team can help fight for your freedom or a reduction in charges or sentencing.
If you think you are under investigation for mail fraud, it is imperative that you speak to an experienced and aggressive attorney right away about your situation. You need someone who will stand up for your rights to the prosecution and deliver a strong defense for your innocence and your freedom.
In order to present the best possible defense for your case, contact an experienced and aggressive Criminal Attorney as soon as possible. Attorney David Shrager provides free legal consultations and you can reach him by text message or by calling 412-969-2540.

What Is Mail Fraud and Wire Fraud?
Mail fraud and wire fraud charges are typically an add-on to theft charges, since that is usually the reason behind committing mail fraud. Mail and wire fraud are both federal crimes, which means a person charged with mail fraud will go through the U.S. Federal Court process.
Mail fraud is an attempt to commit a type of fraud through deceit or concealment using the U.S. Postal Service or other mail delivery company (FedEx, UPS, etc.) usually in an attempt to gain something of value.
Fraudulence can occur by means of committing another crime, such as theft, forgery, embezzlement, counterfeiting, or improperly handling forms, vouchers and other documents. A solicitation through phone or Internet could be subject to mail fraud charges if it also involves the U.S. mail system.
Attempted fraud through telecommunication systems (email, Internet and websites) is usually considered wire fraud.
Anyone from a lone seller on eBay to business executives and public officials could be charged with mail fraud or wire fraud.
Examples of mail fraud can include scams and fraudulent credit card offers, prizes and lotteries.
The penalties for a mail fraud conviction are severe and you could be sentenced to prison for years on top of being forced to pay thousands of dollars in fines.

Defending Federal Mail and Wire Fraud Charges
It is entirely possible to win against mail fraud charges. In order to be convicted, the government has to prove that the accused had the intent to defraud someone. There are many instances where a defendant may have been a participant in a fraudulent scheme without their knowledge. A skilled legal defense team will use every piece of evidence and work to prove that the defendant is innocent using a “good faith” argument, a lack of intent defense or other valid strategy to disprove the prosecutor’s case.
