How Can I Defend Charges of Internet Crimes?

With millions of people on the Internet these days it’s no wonder that more people are being charged with Internet crimes. If you have been charged with Internet crimes it is important to seek legal assistance as quickly as possible. With Internet crimes, as with many other crimes, law enforcement will seek to review your actions and gather evidence. There are various types of Internet crimes, also called cyber crimes, that could take place and the punishment for conviction could be quite severe. It is important to talk to an attorney as quickly as possible after you have been charged. Your lawyer will immediately begin to assist by reviewing your case and helping you as the case proceeds forward.

There are many types of crimes that fall into the Internet category. For example, any time a computer was used in the commission of a crime Internet crime charges could be made. Today, computer forensics is a very advanced field. Almost everything that is done on a computer can be retrieved, even if it was erased. The hard drive may be able to be analyzed to locate such data. Internet crimes must be defended with experts who are able to research and analyze the data. An experienced defense attorney will retain the necessary expert analysts to provide the best possible defense in your case. Of course, every case is different and has a unique set of circumstances associated with it.

Defending Internet Crimes

Defending Internet crimes is time consuming but it is possible to do. Often, other charges are also made along with Internet crimes. A knowledgeable attorney will try to eliminate as many charges as possible and try to reduce the remaining charges. Penalties for Internet crime convictions vary greatly based on the crime itself. Because Internet crimes often cross state lines, they may be considered federal charges. Federal charges are typically more serious and carry penalties including prison, probation, fines, and restitution. Some of those convicted of federal crimes may find it difficult to find employment later. Various factors may be taken into consideration when sentencing on a federal conviction including your prior criminal history, similar criminal charges, and whether you are on probation for any crime.

Resolving Internet Crime Charges

The first thing that may happen when you are arrested on criminal charges is a hearing. It is essential to have a lawyer represent you at this initial hearing. Your attorney may be able to have some of your charges eliminated. Additionally, bail will be set at this hearing. Depending on the circumstances, you may be released with a lowered bail amount, allowing you to continue to work until the case goes to trial. The judge will indicate the exact charges against you at this hearing. Your lawyer will immediately work to defend you and protect your rights to get the best possible result. Internet charges must be taken seriously and your lawyer will guide you through the legal process.

  • All Charges Dropped

    In reviewing the evidence provided by the State our team realized that T.R.’s rights had been violated when she was immediately illegally arrested by the Trooper. Further, there were many other errors made by the Trooper which would result in the evidence gathered being suppressed.

    In this case, our client, R.H., was out with friends. A family member who was angry with him tracked his location by tracking his cell phone, called the police, told them he was very drunk, and led the police right to his car. The officers stopped his car and eventually arrested him.
