Phoenix Internet Crimes Lawyer

Internet crime is a relatively new area of law. The legislature is continuously creating new laws concerning internet crimes in order to protect the public from various types of fraudulent activities. The internet and electronic devices have allowed the government to intrude into a citizen’s private life more than ever before. Government investigators can now closely follow what an individual user does on the web. Their ability to identify a particular computer on the internet and recover data from a computer's hard drive provides them with a wealth of information during a criminal investigation and prosecution. If you are the target of an investigation or have been charged with a computer or internet related crime, consult an experienced Phoenix criminal defense attorney to discuss your legal options.

When you have been arrested and charged with an internet crime, you need a legal advocate who thoroughly comprehends the intricacies of cybercrimes and can analyze and evaluate the evidence against you with an eye towards identifying weaknesses in the prosecution’s case. Your attorney will then be in a strong position to either negotiate a successful resolution to your case or facilitate a bench or jury trial on your behalf.

Task forces and new law enforcement units, such as the Arizona Internet Crimes Against Children (AZICAC) have been formed to investigate internet crimes, such as:

• Child internet solicitation
• Internet child pornography
• Computer crimes against children
• Illegal downloading
• Computer hacking
• Identity theft
• Internet fraud
• Credit card fraud
• Phishing scams
• Auction fraud
• Cyber stalking
