Internet Crimes

Computer and Internet Crime Defense

If you have been charged with any crime related to using the Internet, it is important to seek knowledgeable legal counsel. Many such offenses carry serious penalties. You could be convicted as a sex offender and be required to register under Megan's Law. Even less life-altering charges can lead to significant fines, jail time and a criminal record.

Entrapment issues

He is knowledgeable about related issues that often arise during an Internet crime defense. People are often charged after a sting operation, which raises issues of entrapment. Law enforcement personnel conduct such operations for many weeks or months before actually bringing charges. If you think you are being investigated or that a Web site is attempting to have you engage in conduct that you would not ordinarily consider, consult an attorney to learn about your rights. This is a changing area of the law. It is important to have the most current advice.
