Criminal Defense Lawyers Fighting Computer Crime Charges

Identify theft charges are the most common type of computer crime, but other internet related crimes and computer crimes include computer fraud, computer hacking, and other accusations of fraud perpetuated by use of a computer can be classified as computer crimes. All computer crime related charges require a technically aware and knowledgeable criminal defense lawyer for proper representation.

An internet crime is different from a computer crime, in that an internet crime is committed while using the internet or while on the internet. Because the internet was recently invented, the laws on internet crime are constantly changing and a skilled criminal attorney would be needed to research and investigate all aspects of this type of criminal case.

The most common type of internet crime is credit card fraud, internet fraud, illegal downloading, phishing, child pornography, illegal pornography, and illegal distribution of viruses/spam. Some of these charges can carry very serious consequences and it is crucial to have the right criminal defense lawyer on your side. If convicted of a computer crime, you may be punished with imprisonment, large fines, community service, probation, parole, restitution and more. If the accused has a prior criminal history, especially involving computer crimes or internet crimes, the charges and sentencing may be enhanced. As a result of the severe consequences, it is always best to hire a criminal attorney who can fight these accusations.
