What is wire fraud?<\/h3>\n<p>Federal criminal fraud cases are often charged as mail or wire fraud. The reason is jurisdictional \u2013 federal courts only have jurisdiction when there is an interstate nexus. Courts have held that fraud involving the mail or wires (internet, phones) has a sufficient connection to interstate commerce to trigger federal jurisdiction. But the crime at issue is fraud \u2013 misrepresentations or material omissions of fact.<\/p>\n<h3>Is an administrative warrant the same as a criminal warrant?<\/h3>\n<p>An administrative warrant is an order from a judge requiring information pertaining to violations of administrative rules or regulations to be produced to the regulating agency.\u00a0The function is similar to a criminal warrant, but it is not the same.\u00a0An administrative warrant requires a lower standard of proof than a criminal warrant.<\/p>\n<h3>What is a grand jury?<\/h3>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/josephhollander.com\/news-blog\/what-to-expect-during-a-grand-jury-investigation\/\">grand jury<\/a> is supposed to be an investigative body\u2014a group of individuals tasked to collect information about suspected criminal activity and decide whether to indict the suspected criminal. Grand juries hear testimony from witnesses and review documents and other tangible evidence. The grand jury can issue subpoenas to collect this information and evidence.<\/p>\n<p>The prosecutor\u2019s role before a grand jury is to act as a legal advisor. However, as grand juries are composed of laymen, prosecutors have significant influence and control over the evidence presented for the grand jury\u2019s consideration.<\/p>\n<p>The proceedings before a grand jury are held in private and usually kept private even after charges are filed.<\/p>\n<p>If you have received a federal grand jury subpoena or been indicted by a federal grand jury, you need qualified criminal defense counsel on your side.
