If you have charges against you for a purported federal financial crime, reach out to an attorney. An experienced, committed, and determined federal defense attorney can fight for a positive outcome for you.
Federal Financial Crimes

Real Estate Fraud
Real estate fraud may be committed electronically, as well. Allegedly fraudulent electronic communications sent from one state to another may result in the case being heard in federal court. For instance, real estate fraud might involve closing documents containing material omissions or misstatements intended to defraud someone may be faxed from one state to another.
Mail Fraud
Mail fraud is a strategy that intends to deprive an individual of their money, property, or services by using the U.S. Postal Service or an interstate mail carrier to bring about the crime.For instance, if someone writes bad checks and then mails them from one state to another, it is considered mail fraud.
