Auburn, Sacramento Computer and Internet Fraud Attorneys
Computer crime is a very broad category, encompassing fraud, identity theft and other theft, sex crimes and any criminal offense that can be committed by using a computer. At the Law Offices of Barry A. Zimmerman, our California attorneys defend clients charged with all types of computer crimes. With one of the only Placer County criminal specialists certified by the State Bar of California, our law firm is well-positioned to help.
Examples of Computer Crimes
Our attorneys build strong defenses against all types of computer crime charges, including:
- Generating false documents, such as generating a check, an ID or other document to commit fraud or theft
- Theft of another's identity
- Using another's identity
- Solicitation and other sex offenses
- Hacking, or accessing another's electronic information
- Possession of pornography
- Fraud
- Blackmail
- Embezzlement
Investigation
Proving computer crimes can be difficult. That is why our law firm conducts extensive investigations to demonstrate that a client did not know that his or her computer was used for illegal activities. We work with experts to document access to the computer and develop arguments around jurisdictional issues that can lead to a reduction or dismissal of the charges.
Potential Penalties
Possession of Internet pornography, solicitation and other sex crimes have particularly harsh penalties. If convicted, a person may be required to register as a sex offender and wear an ankle monitor. He may have difficulty renting a place to live or be banned from practicing certain professions. A conviction on porn charges can also lead to a long prison term. The stakes are very high; consulting an experienced defense lawyer is critical.
Defense Strategies
Our law firm defends clients vigorously against sex crime charges and all other computer crimes. We explore constitutional issues to determine whether law enforcement acted properly when searching or seizing a client's computer. We demonstrate that our client had no criminal intent, an important issue in computer crime. We identify others who may have actually committed the crime while using our client's computer.
