Internet Crimes
Crimes involving the use of the internet and computer are usually extremely complex and will always require the help of an attorney. What is an internet crime? Any type of unlawful activity that uses the internet to complete the transaction, such as identity theft, wire fraud, sex crimes and other white collar crimes, is considered to be an internet crime. It is unfortunate but true to say that some internet crimes come about by means of a computer virus or the accidental click of a mouse. If you were accused of committing a computer crime or internet crime, do not wait any longer to retain the powerful representation of a skilled lawyer from Fagan, Fagan & Davis.
Being charged with one of these criminal charges is a frightening experience for a person to take on by themselves, especially if these charges came about without the person's knowledge. Due to advanced technology, a computer hacker may have found his or her way onto your IP address or computer to make it appear that you have committed a crime. It is important that your attorney has a thorough understanding of this area of the law so that they can prove this to be true and defend your rights.
