Attorneys for Online Criminal Charges
Have you been charged with a crime based on alleged behavior that occurred on the Internet or otherwise involving the use of a computer? When the evidence in a criminal case is based on computer data and online investigation methods, you need attorneys who are prepared to confront the unique issues involved.
If you have been charged with any Internet or computer crime, from stealing credit card numbers to distributing child pornography, don't hesitate to contact us at Goldstein, Goldstein & Hilley. Based in San Antonio, we have been representing clients in criminal cases for 40 years, and we do not charge for telephone consultations.
Responding to Financial, Sexual and Other Allegations
Some computer crimes occur solely on the Internet, while other common criminal charges take on unique characteristics when computer communications are involved. Our criminal defense attorneys defend clients against a wide range of financial crimes, sexual offenses and other Internet and computer crimes, including:
- Identity theft
- Computer fraud
- Phishing scams
- 419 ("Nigerian") scams and other investment schemes
- Copyright and trademark infringement (including software piracy)
- Gambling violations
- Adult and child pornography
- Online sex offense solicitation
If you have been charged with a computer crime, we will explore all of your defense options. Since online communications are often partially anonymous and open to misinterpretation, a big part of many computer-based cases is presenting mitigating evidence demonstrating that you are not culpable or did not commit the crime with which you were charged.
Keeping Tabs on Cutting-Edge Developments
At Goldstein, Goldstein & Hilley, we keep up with the latest technological, regulatory and legal developments in the area of computer crime so we can understand what claims the government is making about our clients' alleged behavior and follow up with defense investigations to dispute those claims.
As computer crime has grown, government surveillance of online behavior has adapted rapidly, often raising questions about the legality of new methods. In many cases, government agents are hacking into people's computers without search warrants via peer-to-peer networks and other methods.
We have the technological understanding to interpret what the government is doing to try to convict you and oppose those efforts at every step of your case. Contact us to get experienced, savvy computer crime defense lawyers on your side.
