Internet Crime or Computer Hacking

Internet crime lawyers from LibertyBell Law Group work on a team with criminal defense experts that specialize in cyber crime and laws. A cyber crime is one that occurs via the internet. Many types of internet crime exist including:

• Cyber Stalking
• Cyber Terrorism
• Cyber Theft
• Internet Sex Crime includes child pornography, child enticement or luring a minor over the internet and other uses of the internet to commit or contribute to any type of sex offense.

Facing charges of Computer Hacking

Computer Hacking refers to the act of gaining unauthorized access to computer systems for the purpose of stealing, altering or corrupting data. Internet crime such as cyber terrorism and theft may involve computer hacking to gain access to the private network of an organization. Often the access to such confidential information results in pecuniary gain. Computer hacking and internet crime may cross state borders as computers often are located in different states and are thus prosecuted in federal courts. State and federal attorneys from LibertyBell Law Group have a track record of winning internet crime cases and getting the best outcome for each client that stems from having the top internet crime lawyers and experts in the country.

Because the FCC holds jurisdiction over the Internet, a defendant is subject to Federal Prosecution, leaving him or her again exposed to the severe Federal Sentencing guidelines. If you suspect you may be charged or under investigation by the federal government, it is critical you obtain the services of experienced federal criminal defense lawyers.

Internet Crime & Computer Hacking Penalties

The most common penalty associated with internet crime is restitution in order to compensate those who suffered financial loss due to the hacking. Because of the considerable financial damage that can result from computer hacking actions, the restitution amount can be quite substantial, and prison terms are not uncommon. If the defendant has committed a prior criminal offense, especially if it involved an internet sex crime or a crime involving the luring of a minor, a defendant may be subject to severe criminal enhancements in sentencing if convicted. The consequences and punishment of an internet crime may include:

• Heavy fines
• Prison
• Restitution
• Community Service
• Probation

An experienced internet crime attorney can often be instrumental in minimizing associated penalties and fines, saving the defendant thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars. An experienced criminal attorney can also help work out reasonable payment plans that actually allow for the defendant to pay the damages back over a reasonable time period, often while keeping the defendant out of jail or prison.

Defense!

Your lawyer should always consider the possibility of trial in your case, particularly if you did not commit the alleged offense. A trial does not only establish whether you broke the law; it also is used to establish the monetary amount of loss.

Computer hacking charges can carry penalties that may seem extremely severe for the actual crime involved. Defending these charges requires a defense team with internet experience.

Remember it is up to the prosecution to prove the amount of actual loss. A strong aggressive criminal attorney along with his team of forensic accountants and experts can make tremendous impact on the result of your case.

Pre-trial preparation is the key to successful defense of internet charges. Your defense team needs to have the experience and expertise to examine computer logs and records to determine which evidence is relevant to your case and how they might be used for your defense. This investigation generally requires discovery motions to compel prosecutors, employers, banks and other institutions to turn over records that can be used in your defense.

Because of the time and specialized skills involved, mounting a criminal defense requires a team, not just a single attorney. Prosecutors generally do not pursue cases they do not feel they can prove in trial. This is why it is critical to dig even deeper into your case than the prosecution and inject the reasonable doubt that will let you win in the courtroom if necessary.

Why Hire LibertyBell Law Group's Internet Crime Attorneys?

The obvious goal of a criminal defense law firm is to get charges against you dismissed or, barring that, get a not guilty verdict.

In the event that it is not possible to disprove a specific charge against you, we can be extremely helpful at sentence reduction. The complexity of white collar cases creates many opportunities for plea bargains, and the lattitude that state court judges can have makes it possible to greatly reduce sentences and penalties.

At LibertyBell Law Group, we have assembled a team of trial attorneys with experience defending against white collar criminal charges, such as computer hacking. Our experience spans state courtrooms across the country and the federal court system. Our criminal attorneys have successfully defended clients in cases involving millions of dollars and multiple years of defense work.
