Federal prosecutors often add mail fraud to felony charges involving any kind of financial fraud. Under the federal criminal code, any use of the United States Postal Service in an activity related to a federal offense constitutes mail fraud. In reality, prosecutors often tack on the charge when they lack enough evidence to get a conviction for the main felony offense.
If you have been asked questions by the police or federal prosecutor — or asked to submit a statement or information about an investigation — it’s time to call an experienced federal criminal defense lawyer.
I am federal criminal defense lawyer Phillip A. Turner. As a former federal prosecutor, I know how prosecutors will try to gather every scrap of evidence indicating that you used the U.S. mail to commit a crime. In many cases, mail and wire fraud charges are their last hope for getting a conviction. I have extensive experience fighting to protect people from trumped-up federal charges. I provide aggressive, effective representation to help you avoid a conviction.

Turner or contact me by email to arrange an initial consultation with an experienced Chicago mail fraud lawyer immediately. I am available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Federal cases involving the U.S. mail are complex and require extensive investigation and understanding of specific federal statutes. Very few criminal defense lawyers have the experience and knowledge needed to provide an effective defense. If you face federal mail fraud charges, make sure you check out the experience, credentials and case results of the attorneys you consider before making your decision.
If you are facing charges of federal mail fraud, mortgage fraud or any kind of felony fraud, call me right away.
