About Fraud Charges

Many fraud offenses can be prosecuted in either state or federal court. Federal fraud offenses such as mail, wire, bank and mortgage fraud are also very serious crimes that may carry substantial jail sentences, according to the monetary amount involved. Many fraud crimes also have longer statutes of limitations than most other federal crimes, meaning they can be prosecuted many years after the alleged offense. Additionally, complicated issues involving restitution and forfeiture typically accompany fraud-related crimes. For example, a defendant convicted of a fraud crime in federal court may be required to forfeit the entire amount of funds involved in the fraud and pay full restitution, in addition to any prison sentence imposed.

All types of fraud charges must be handled with the utmost degree of diligence, dedication and care by an attorney who is experienced in handling both state and federal fraud cases.
