California Mail Fraud Defense Lawyers
Aggressive Defense from Former Fresno County Deputy District Attorneys
Mail fraud charges involve the use of the United States Postal Service to commit a criminal offense. Similarly, wire fraud charges involve the use of telephones, the Internet or fax machines to commit a criminal offense. These charges are frequently used to bring a defendant under federal jurisdiction and often accompany charges for a more serious white collar offense.
If you are currently under investigation for or have been charged with federal fraud, it is extremely important to retain legal counsel immediately.
