Internet crimes are prosecuted by powerful and skillful teams.
The FBI has special Internet agents, and federal prosecutors have teams of attorneys working exclusively on Internet crime. Even if you have done nothing wrong, or didn't know you were involved in an illegal activity, you may be at serious risk. If you are under investigation or have been charged with Internet crime, seek legal advice at the earliest opportunity. Please contact our Florida criminal defense law firm if you would like to discuss your situation with one of our attorneys. We serve clients throughout the United States from our Miami-Dade County office.
Powerful representation for those facing charges of Internet crime
Defense lawyers at our Miami, Florida, criminal law firm are led by attorney David Rothman, a former prosecutor who is also a bar-certified criminal defense specialist. Beginning with initial advice for a client and continuing through representation at pre-trial hearings, trial and appeals we are at all times aware of the risks our clients face if they are even charged with an online crime. We will do all we can to protect our client's reputation and employment during the legal process.
Child pornography:
You can be prosecuted for downloading allegedly pornographic or obscene materials, such as child porn, at home or at work, or with possession of such materials. Depending on the charges and the evidence, we may defend you by showing that the material was not obscene and therefore not illegal, that the wrong person was arrested, or that the evidence was collected in an illegal search and seizure, and therefore inadmissible. Charges involving possession or distribution of child pornography can destroy your future if not handled appropriately. Make sure you have a skilled lawyer on your side.
Online child solicitation:
When investigating charges involving the solicitation of a minor over the Internet, our firm evaluates techniques that law enforcement used in obtaining evidence. Many times, these cases arise from an online conversation between the individual and an undercover agent in an Internet chat room. We work to prove that the conduct was illegal entrapment and that the evidence, therefore, cannot be used against our client.
Internet fraud/Cyber Fraud:
Charges of using the Internet to commit fraud may stem from solicitations for online investments, alleged pyramid scams or offers to employ people to work from home, particularly if the offer suggests a guaranteed return. One aspect of our investigation as defense counsel would be to examine the charges and the evidence to determine if government agents working undercover on the Internet actually engaged in illegal entrapment. Other computer fraud charges involve online identity theft and credit card fraud.
Internet gambling:
One of the largest online economic activities is Internet gambling. Sometimes it is unclear whether the activities are illegal. If this factor is in dispute, our lawyers will work with you to gather proof that no crime has been committed.
Online pharmacies and drug sales:
Our lawyers have represented pharmacies and doctors accused of illegal involvement in online sales of prescription drugs.
