Phoenix Wire Fraud Attorney

Defense for Federal Fraud Charges in Arizona

Wire fraud is a federal crime that involves using "interstate wires" to transmit information for the purpose of carrying out a scheme to defraud others. Wire fraud may be committed via the internet, telephone, radio or television and may include any type of fraud or scheme that is meant to deceive others in order to unlawfully obtain money, services, goods or other valuables. It may be related to identity theft, bank fraud, government fraud, computer hacking, and various other state and federal white collar crimes.

If you or someone you know has been accused of wire fraud, this may result in serious federal charges. You need a skilled Phoenix wire fraud lawyer to defend your rights and help you avoid a conviction and harsh penalties. The penalties for wire fraud may include up to 20 years in prison, along with fines. If a financial institution is affected or targeted, the penalties may increase to up to 30 years in prison and a fine of up to $1 million.

The repercussions of a wire fraud charge or conviction may haunt you for life. Although you may face up to three decades in prison for a conviction of this kind, even if you do not receive the maximum term of imprisonment you may still face a ruined reputation and career, difficulty getting employment, and lost financial and housing opportunities. Involving an attorney as soon as possible may be essential to the outcome of your case, particularly if your attorney is able to launch a pre-file investigation and work to counter the federal investigation against you.
