Mail fraud includes credit card fraud, medical drug fraud and any other type of fraud that is committed by using the mail. In any mail fraud or mail theft case, the intent of the accused must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. When we take on a case, our Mail Fraud attorneys will use this to your benefit to defend you against these charges.

Although physical evidence is usually present in a mail fraud case, it must be proven that the defendant:

• Planned to commit fraud
• Intentionally created a scheme with the intention to defraud
• Mailed or had someone else mail fraudulent items or items which were meant to defraud

If you are facing charges of mail theft or fraud, our attorneys will assert your rights and protect your future.
