Texas Federal Computer Crimes Defense Lawyer
By its simplest definition, an Internet crime is any computer crime that involves the use of the Internet for the purpose of fraud, embezzlement, identity theft, or to obtain possession of illegal materials, including child pornography. Internet crime can be generally broken into two broad categories. The first category includes crimes that exclusively involve the use of the Internet. Such crimes include disseminating a computer virus, hacking into secure websites, hijacking domain names, and "phishing" or soliciting financial data by sending out bogus emails.
The second category of Internet crime involves fraudulently setting up an Internet business or promotional website to attract customers for the purpose of fraudulent or unfair business practices. Because the Internet is so broad in scope, either category of Internet crime could result in a federal felony charge.

A cornerstone of our success is our willingness to look beyond the criminal charges and always remember that we are representing you, as a person. Our attorneys thoroughly investigate the activities that led up to your arrest and whether there was a likelihood that you intended to commit a crime. Police, prosecutors, and federal authorities often set up illegal sting operations to entrap otherwise law-abiding citizens into committing a crime they are often unaware of committing. We fight back against that by aggressively asserting your rights.
We work hard to find an effective defense strategy, and we make sure the judge and jury will understand it.
