Types of Computer Crimes

Computer crime charges often relate to actions including, but not limited to:

  • Breach of computer security
  • Online solicitation of a minor
  • Identity theft
  • Online harassment

Computer-related prosecutions are becoming more and more common. The Penal Code and Federal Statutes are being amended regularly to address offenses involving the use of computers and / or the internet. In many cases, the punishment range, if convicted, can lead to prison time.

To adequately defend your rights, you must retain an attorney who knows both the technical and legal implications of properly defending these types of offenses. We have litigated numerous cases involving the use of computers and the internet. Our team has worked closely with forensic computer examiners and knows how to properly investigate and defend computer-related cases.

In fact, our founding attorney helped draft Texas' Online Solicitation of a Minor statute, testified before the Texas Legislature, and was with Governor Perry when the bill was signed into law.

Defend Your Rights

If you are being investigated for any white collar offense such as theft, fraud, misapplication of fiduciary property, securing execution of a document by deception, wire fraud, or mail fraud, investigators will attempt to seize any computers you either work with or use at home.

These computers will be forensically examined for evidence of illegal activity and the results of that examination will be used against you. This is why having the most competent legal representation you can find is so important. Your attorney should have your computer forensically examined.

Your attorney should work with a retained forensic computer examiner to make sure that the examination performed on your computer was done properly. Often, evidence that might help to prove your innocence is overlooked by law enforcement. An experienced attorney can work to find this evidence and be able to effectively challenge the prosecution's case as well as present such evidence on your behalf.
