Internet Crimes

Internet Crime Defense — Computer Crime Lawyer

Crimes involving the use of computers and the Internet have created a new and constantly evolving area of the law that deals specifically with such issues. Many of these issues remain unsettled, and this has led to situations where defendants accused of a cyber crime have not had their rights protected properly.

At Mary E. Conn & Associates, we work hard to keep ourselves informed and up-to-date on developments in this area of the law so that when a client comes to us seeking help, we can deliver the kind of quality representation they deserve. As a firm, our practice extends to clients throughout Texas and California who are facing state and federal charges such as:

  • Internet fraud
  • Computer vandalism
  • Identity theft
  • Theft of proprietary information
  • Online solicitation / solicitation of minors
  • Possession or distribution of child pornography

Penalties for Conviction and Internet Crime Defense

Penalties for a conviction on charges of online fraud, solicitation, or other Internet-related crime can be substantial and include serious fines, jail time, and the loss of certain civil liberties. Because of this, it is essential to have the guidance of an attorney who is experienced in these matters at your side.

Specific items that need to be addressed in any case involving Internet crime include establishing whether or not there is an actual victim and whether the crime a person has been charged with by prosecutors is the actual crime committed. Our attorney, Mary Conn , uses her experience in combination with the skills of computer experts and forensic scientists to establish the answers to these questions and to seek a reduction or dismissal of the charges against you whenever possible.
