Wire Fraud Attorneys in Michigan
Most wire fraud charges are pursued by the federal government. However, Michigan can press charges as well. Wire fraud involves the use of the telephone, cell phone, Internet, fax, e-mail, or any other form of electronic communication in order to commit fraud. It’s a serious crime, and if you’re convicted, you’ll be charged with a felony. If you’re facing charges, immediately speak with a wire fraud attorney.

Whether it’s the state or the federal government that’s pressing charges depends on many factors, including the value of loss caused by the fraud, the amount of evidence the prosecutor has, and other circumstances.
Something to keep in mind is that the electronic communication doesn’t need to be an important aspect to the fraud.
If you simply mention your fraudulent plan on the telephone, you could face prosecution.
Also, you don’t need to be the person who initiates the electronic communication in order to be accused of wire fraud.
For example, if you do something that causes another person to wire you money, that’ll be enough to charge you with wire fraud.
Penalties Associated with Wire Fraud
If you’re convicted of wire fraud, you could be facing a 20-year felony, three years of supervised release, and a fine of up to $250,000 or twice the amount of loss caused by your fraud, whichever is greater.
Just like other fraud cases, each individual fraudulent act can be a separate charge against you.
It’s for this reason that you should consult with an experienced wire fraud team immediately.

Reviews From Our Clients
Bryan Smith
Barton was amazing and I could not have had the positive outcome without his guidance. His team is prompt and great to work with. He even called while out of the country on vacation, which I feel shows he went above and beyond what someone might expect from their attorney. Experienced and cares! I would highly recommend Barton!
Leng T.
Very professional. I came and spoke to Barton Morris about my situation and my case. I asked him if he was willing to help me. He asked about the details and my background and history. He give me a positive confidence he can help me and my odds. His price is reasonable. He’s not one of those hole in the wall lawyers who treat you as a number. You are a human being with a personal life. You treats you as a valued client no matter how big or small the case.
Kelly M.
I had Mike Norman as my lawyer for a case. I just wanted to come on here and thank him for doing his best for me. I am grateful during this stressful time. I’ve used Barton Morris as a lawyer about 11 years ago and he was awesome which is why we came back. I do recommend!
Thomas Smale
Extremely knowledgeable and very helpful when it comes to navigating the complicated nature of cannabis businesses in Michigan. I met with Barton where he answered all my questions about the pre-qualification application, and was prompt in answering subsequent questions through email after the meeting was completed. I certainly plan to continue utilize Barton’s knowledge in the future.
