If you’ve been charged with wire fraud in Miami, Coral Gables, or anywhere in Broward County, the stakes are extremely high. Wire fraud is a serious federal offense that typically involves allegations of using email, phone, or the internet to carry out a fraudulent scheme. Because wire fraud often crosses state lines or involves federal programs, it’s prosecuted aggressively by the U.S. Department of Justice—and convictions can carry up to 20 years in prison.
What Qualifies as Wire Fraud?
Wire fraud charges can arise in many contexts, from business dealings to PPP loan applications, online transactions, real estate closings, or even healthcare reimbursements. Prosecutors only need to prove that you devised a scheme to defraud and used electronic communication to advance it—even if the scheme wasn’t successful. What many don’t realize is that even innocent mistakes in documentation or communication can result in criminal charges if interpreted as fraudulent intent.
If your case involves allegations tied to federal loan programs like PPP or EIDL, visit our page on PPP Fraud Defense for more information.

Building a Strong Defense Strategy
A strong wire fraud defense starts with a detailed review of the evidence, including digital communications, financial records, and government subpoenas.
