Mail Fraud Cases and Consequences
Mail fraud involves the intention to commit some type of fraud, which means gaining the funds, property, or assets of others through deceit and misrepresentation, by using the U.S. Postal System. This type of fraud can be an offense committed by a private individual or by a business or corporate entity. To be convicted of mail fraud, it must be proven that you knowingly created a plan to cheat other people or institutions out of money, assets, or services, that you displayed such intent, and that you used the U.S. mail or a private interstate mail carrier in order to execute your plan.
Mail fraud is a white collar crime and carries severe penalties, including a prison term of up to 5 years and fines up to $250,000 for individuals and a prison term of up to 30 years and fines up to $1,000,000 when involving a financial institution. The federal crime of mail fraud can be charged if the postal system was used at any point in the commission of the fraud.
In any white collar crime, such as mail fraud, you will want an attorney who has experience in Federal Court and who is skilled in federal defense. An Atlanta mail fraud attorney at our firm is such an attorney and will provide the responsive and dedicated legal assistance you need to fight the negative consequences of such charges.
