New York City Mail & Wire Fraud Defense Lawyer
Trusted White-Collar Crime Defense in New York
Mail fraud and wire fraud are two common types of federal white-collar crimes. Federal prosecutors often tack on mail and wire fraud crimes to other fraud charges. Almost any fraudulent act — from bankruptcy fraud to tax fraud — can result in an additional mail or wire fraud charge. In fact, by simply using the United States Postal Service to mail something the government views as part of the alleged fraudulent conduct, you can be charged with mail fraud. The same is true if you used the telephone or email in a process the government has determined constitutes any form of fraud.
At the Law Office of Mark A. Bederow, P.C., we have successfully reached positive outcomes for clients facing serious and often complex federal charges throughout New York.

Understanding Mail Fraud Charges
Fraud through the mail is a common white-collar offense. This fraud, which is laid out in federal laws, involves a method to defraud someone of property or money via the United States Postal Service or a different mail carrier.
For example, mail fraud could involve "selling" property that does not exist to a person in another jurisdiction (outside the state) through the mail. This might be common with online purchases, for example.
Exploring Wire Fraud Offenses
Fraud through a wire is another common federal offense. This federal activity involves fraud executed using a wire, such as the radio or telephones. This crime is easier to execute because it is relatively comprehensive and can involve many different mediums.
Consequences of Underlying Fraud Charges
Mail and wire fraud are white-collar criminal offenses that can lead to serious consequences.
If convicted, you could be facing serious penalties such as:
- Prison time
- Heavy fines
- A permanent criminal record that can prevent future job or educational opportunities
In many cases, our defense strategy involves attempting to separate the mail or wire fraud charges from the accusation of fraud. By seeking a dismissal of the mail or wire fraud charges, Mr. Bederow can focus his energy on defending against the original underlying fraud allegation.

Testimonials

Mark Bederow came to the rescue on the worst day of my life. He represented me after a manic episode in 2016 during which I'd been violent. (At the time I was untreated and unmedicated for bipolar 1. I wrote a book about my very fortunate journey to acceptance and better health called BURN RATE: Launching a Startup and Losing My Mind, published 2022.) Under Mark's care, the case was ultimately dismissed and expunged. Forever grateful to Mark for shining light during the darkest days of my life. He is a wonderful human being and an outstanding attorney, and it is a privilege that I was able to work with him. I feel lucky, and I wish Mark's services for anyone dealing with anything, including a mental health issue that becomes a criminal matter.- A.D.

We have dealt with many lawyers in the past several years and 99% of them want the most amount of money to do the least amount of work. Mark Bederow is not your typical lawyer. He’s the only lawyer I’ve ever met that actually listens to his client’s suggestions and utilizes their input, and if he doesn’t he explains why. I’ve never met a lawyer as intelligent, passionate about winning, and completely in his client’s corner. Mark Bederow is brilliant, he is a champion of justice, and his love for the law is evident as he relentlessly fights for his clients. He is definitely the best criminal lawyer in NYC, and quite possibly NY State.- A.F.
