Federal Fraud

Federal fraud prosecutions cover a broad range of offenses, including securities fraud, wire fraud, mail fraud, bank fraud, and investment fraud. These cases carry severe penalties, mandatory restitution, and significant reputational consequences. When federal agencies investigate fraud, they deploy the full resources of the FBI, Secret Service, IRS, and other investigative bodies, often developing cases over several years through grand jury subpoenas, cooperating witnesses, and extensive financial documentation.

Our Experience With Federal Fraud Cases

Fortune Trial Attorneys brings substantial experience to the defense of federal fraud allegations. As Deputy Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney in the Criminal Division, Daniel Fortune supervised major white collar fraud matters and oversaw significant fraud investigations and prosecutions. He has tried wire fraud cases before federal juries and understands the legal elements, evidentiary challenges, and trial strategies central to these prosecutions.

Daniel’s experience includes securities fraud matters involving complex investment schemes, public corruption cases involving fraud on citizens and government entities, and large-scale financial fraud cases with alleged losses reaching hundreds of millions of dollars. This background provides our firm with the insight required to anticipate the government’s tactics and develop a strong defense.

How We Defend Federal Fraud Allegations

Our firm represents individuals and businesses facing fraud allegations of all types.

Our approach integrates insider knowledge of how prosecutors structure fraud cases with sophisticated trial skills honed through more than 75 jury trials.

Federal fraud prosecutions often turn on proof of intent, the materiality of representations, and whether communications or transactions crossed state lines or used interstate wires. We examine these elements through detailed review of financial records, expert testimony on industry standards, and rigorous cross-examination of government witnesses. Our firm also manages the parallel civil and regulatory matters that frequently accompany criminal fraud investigations, ensuring comprehensive protection of your rights, assets, and reputation.
