HOW TO REPORT

How to Report

A practical route for documenting facts before filing.

THE FRAMEWORK

Stop saying “corrupt.”
Start saying “elements.”

18 U.S.C. § 1343
Wire Fraud

Scheme + intent + interstate wire + the wire furthered the scheme.

A Zoom hearing is a wire. An e-filing is a wire. Telemedicine is a wire.

18 U.S.C. § 1341
Mail Fraud

If you received a bill in the mail for services that were never provided or were recklessly fraudulent, you may have a complaint.

“The Tom Cruise movie was about this.”

18 U.S.C. § 1503
Influencing an Officer

Corruptly endeavoring to influence any officer in the discharge of their duty, up to 10 years.

“What does that sound like?”

YOUR EX MIGHT BE YOUR BEST WITNESS • BOTH PARENTS CAN BE VICTIMS OF THE SAME SCHEME
THE BENCH · CRIMINAL ATTORNEYS

Motions go back to the same judge. A complaint goes somewhere else.

Shawn is licensed in Kansas and Missouri. For every other state, we are building a bench of criminal lawyers he can teach. Families tell us their state. Attorneys apply in five minutes. Listings are flat-fee advertising. Never a cut of a case.

For families

I want a criminal attorney in my state
