Atlanta Wire Fraud Attorney

Defense for Wire Fraud Charges in Georgia

Wire fraud is a serious federal crime. It involves using interstate "wires" to transmit information for the purpose of defrauding others. A "wire" may include: telephone line, radio, television signal, or internet line. Creating or attempting to create a scheme that is meant to defraud others or to obtain money through misrepresentation or false promises, and then using an interstate wire to transmit communication in an attempt to carry out this scheme constitutes wire fraud - whether or not the scheme was successful. The attempt alone is enough to result in criminal charges.
