Defending against federal crime charges

Building a successful defense against federal crime allegations in New York requires you to take prompt legal action. The sooner you contact a reputable lawyer, the better your chances are of beating the charges against you. The criminal lawyers at the Law Offices of Tacopina, Seigel & DeOreo can assist you with the following aspects of your federal case:

  • Pleading requirements for mail and wire fraud:

    Mail fraud is a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1341 and can be charged almost any time the U.S. Postal Service is used to transmit materials that are inherently criminal or in furtherance of criminal activity. Wire fraud is a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1343 and can be charged any time criminal information or information in furtherance of criminal activity is transmitted electronically, including by radio, phone, Internet and television.

  • Discovery issues for mail and wire fraud:

    The prosecution must demonstrate in a mail or wire fraud case that specific information was transmitted by mail or wire. This requirement usually demands that the prosecution produce proof of the existence of the offending material and the mode of transmission. This result is most often accomplished by the production of the materials or verifiable duplications of the materials (e.g., letters with postage, facsimile receipts, emails with meta-data and telephonic voice recordings). Because this production is somewhat straightforward, the discovery in a mail or wire fraud case often focuses on evidence of the underlying crime.

  • Key witnesses for mail and wire fraud:

    With the rise of Internet-based wire fraud, computer and telecom experts have become essential witnesses in these types of cases.
