Mail and Wire Fraud Cases:
Mail fraud is part of the Postal Act. Any type of mail sent via the U.S. Postal Service, opens up the possibility of a mail fraud indictment if the mail is related to any type of criminal enterprise and or contains false or fraudulent information. In 1988 and in 1994 the U.S. Congress expanded the areas that mail fraud covers.  The act provides a tremendous range of possible activities that constitute mail fraud.  The United States could possibly use a mail fraud violation on a great majority of the cases that are indicted.  South Carolina criminal defense lawyers must be able to spend time with their client and evaluate each element of the case and possible defenses to the fraud indictment.

Legally Compelled Mailing Doctrine.  A valid defense to mail fraud based on a state or federal law requiring a mailing.  However, even if the mailing is required by state or federal law, documents that are fake or fraudulent will constitute mail fraud and as such will not be protected under the compelled mailing doctrine.  The key element to addresses is whether the documents would have been mailed if not for the alleged scheme or conspiracy.   Even with a good defense to fraud, you must have a criminal defense lawyer that is ready to fight for you in court.  We are always ready to discuss your cases and spend as much time as necessary to get you out of trouble as quickly as possible.  With offices in Miami, Florida and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, we are able to defend cases all across the East Coast.  We are willing defend case all over the United States and abroad depending on the client.
