Charged with Mail Fraud in New York City?
If an individual uses the United States Postal Service in order to unlawfully
steal, acquire or otherwise obtain currency or other objects, he or she
is committing mail fraud. This crime can be charged as a
federal crime if the unlawful use of the postal service goes over state lines. When
you have been charged with mail fraud as a federal crime, you need to
be aware that your case will be tried in a federal court of law –
these courts have different regulations and a different litigation style
is necessary.
