How Quickly Should I Contact a Federal Mail Fraud Defense Lawyer After Learning About an Investigation?

Contact a federal mail fraud defense lawyer immediately. Mail fraud investigations often begin long before charges are filed and may involve subpoenas, witness interviews, search warrants, bank records, emails, invoices, and forensic accounting.

Early legal representation gives your attorney time to preserve evidence, respond to grand jury subpoenas, review the government’s claims, and identify weaknesses before prosecutors seek an indictment. Waiting gives investigators more time to collect evidence without hearing your side through counsel.

The Law Offices of Matthew Cohan represents clients before and after mail fraud charges are filed. The firm provides free confidential consultations for clients in New York, New Jersey, and across the United States.

Depending on the case, you may recover compensatory damages (for actual loss), pain and suffering, and in some egregious cases, punitive damages designed to punish the wrongdoer.

Federal Sentencing Guidelines are a complex set of rules used to determine a recommended prison sentence relying on both the “offense level” and the “criminal history category.” Although these guidelines are now advisory rather than mandatory, judges continue to give them significant weight. A skilled criminal defense attorney can assess the specifics of your case and estimate the applicable guideline range. Some charges also involve mandatory minimum sentences. It’s important to contact a federal criminal defense attorney as early as possible.
