Federal wire fraud charges are serious and complex, often involving allegations of using electronic communications to carry out fraudulent schemes. At LibertyBell Law Group, we understand the devastating consequences a conviction can bring, including imprisonment, fines, and damage to your reputation. Our experienced attorneys are dedicated to building a strong defense tailored to your unique case.

What Is Federal Wire Fraud?

Wire fraud is defined under 18 U.S.C. § 1343 and involves intentionally using electronic communications to deceive someone for financial gain. Common examples include:

• Email Scams: Sending fraudulent messages to solicit money or sensitive information.
• Phishing Schemes: Using fake websites or emails to steal personal data.
• Investment Fraud: Misleading individuals to invest in fraudulent schemes.
• Telemarketing Fraud: Using phones or other communication tools to deceive victims.
• Online Marketplace Fraud: Selling non-existent goods or services over the internet.

Even if the fraudulent scheme does not succeed, the mere act of using electronic communication to further it can result in wire fraud charges.

Penalties for Wire Fraud

Wire fraud carries severe penalties, which include:

• Imprisonment: Sentences of up to 20 years per offense.
• Fines: Substantial monetary penalties that can reach hundreds of thousands of dollars.
• Restitution: Court-ordered repayment to victims for their financial losses.

Enhanced penalties apply if the wire fraud involves a financial institution or is linked to a federally declared disaster or emergency.

Defense Strategies for Wire Fraud Charges

At LibertyBell Law Group, we employ a variety of defense strategies to protect our clients from conviction. These include:

1. Lack of Intent

Proving wire fraud requires evidence of intentional deceit. Demonstrating that errors were unintentional can weaken the prosecution’s case.

2. Insufficient Evidence

We thoroughly examine the evidence for procedural errors, inconsistencies, or lack of proof to challenge the prosecution’s claims.

3. Mistaken Identity

Showing that another party was responsible for the alleged wire fraud can exonerate our clients.

4. Rights Violations

If investigators violated your constitutional rights during evidence collection, we can file motions to suppress unlawfully obtained evidence.
