Bank and Mortgage Fraud Overview

Bank and mortgage fraud are federal crimes that involve deceiving financial institutions and individuals to gain money or property through fraudulent means. These crimes can result in severe penalties for those convicted, including fines and imprisonment.

Some common types of bank and mortgage fraud include:

• Loan fraud
• Mortgage fraud
• Check fraud
• Embezzlement
• Wire fraud
• Money laundering

If you have been convicted of bank and mortgage fraud charges, you need a federal appeals lawyer to represent you during the appeals process. An experienced federal appellate lawyer can review your case to determine whether there were any legal errors or inconsistencies in the original trial that could be challenged on appeal.

Grounds for Appealing Bank and Mortgage Fraud Convictions and Sentences

If you have been convicted of bank or mortgage fraud and are serving time in federal prison, you may have grounds for appealing your conviction or sentence. A successful appeal could result in a reduced sentence, a new trial, or even a complete dismissal of the charges against you.

To appeal your conviction or sentence, you will need the help of an experienced federal appellate lawyer. Your lawyer will review your case to determine if any legal errors occurred during your trial or sentencing that could provide grounds for an appeal.

Some common grounds for appeal in bank and mortgage fraud cases include:

• Insufficient evidence — If the prosecution did not present sufficient evidence to prove your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, you might be able to appeal your conviction on the grounds of insufficient evidence.
• Improper jury instructions — If the jury was given improper instructions or the instructions were incomplete, you may be able to appeal your conviction on the grounds of erroneous jury instructions.
• Ineffective assistance of counsel — If your trial lawyer did not provide effective representation, you might be able to appeal your conviction on the grounds of ineffective assistance of counsel.
• Sentencing errors — If errors were made in your sentencing, such as a miscalculation of your sentence or the imposition of an incorrect guideline range, you might be able to appeal your sentence on the grounds of sentencing errors.

The appeals process can be complex and time-consuming, and success is not guaranteed. However, with the help of our federal appellate lawyer, you can increase your chances of a successful appeal and potentially achieve a more favorable outcome.
