Los Angeles Internet Crime Defense Attorneys

Experienced Representation in Complex Los Angeles Internet Crime Cases

The internet has been around for decades, but the line between personal liberties and criminal activity is still unclear. Our laws have had to adapt to everything, from social media to online payments to system security, and there are still many evolutions to come. It is very easy to assume that your actions online are completely private, but a California prosecutor can use invasive investigations to build a case against you. Your only option is to trust your defense to an equally experienced and dedicated legal team.

If you or someone you love has been charged with an internet crime, let our Los Angeles defense lawyers at Werksman Jackson & Quinn LLP fight for you. Our clients don’t just receive the knowledge of one Los Angeles internet crime defense attorney, but an entire team. We know your future is on the line and will not rest until we get the best outcome for your situation.

What Are Internet Crimes?

Internet crimes, digital crimes, cybercrimes – all of these terms refer to criminal activity that takes place through the use of digital devices and the world wide web. An internet crime can occur through social media or can utilize powerful software to assist in theft or fraud – both will lead to serious criminal penalties if you are convicted. As our technology becomes more advanced and once-private information becomes readily available with the click of a button, our laws too will grow to encompass this new field. Even older laws involving stalking and harassment have been adjusted to accommodate the internet – with serious consequences for offenders.

At Werksman Jackson & Quinn LLP, we believe defense lawyers should grow and adapt to the times, which is why we provide strong legal representation in cases of:

• Hacking
• Consumer fraud
• Wire fraud
• Bank fraud
• Credit card fraud
• Identity theft
• Revenge porn
• Child pornography distribution
• Solicitation of a minor
• Phishing
• Unlawful contact with a minor
• Cyberstalking and harassment
• Cyberbullying
• Internet fraud

How Are These Cases Prosecuted?

The truth is that nothing is private anymore. Social media, cloud databases, IP addresses, and dozens of other online systems catalog and track every interaction you have online. When someone accuses you of committing fraud or another internet crime, investigators may act fast to secure your browser history, online profiles, emails, direct messages, and other information to use against you in court. However, you are still protected against illegal searches and seizures, which does extend to private data and information (Riley v. California 573 U.S. 373).

But without a skilled attorney to uphold your rights, you may suffer indignities after being charged with an internet crime in Los Angeles. While many charges are wobblers, meaning they can be a misdemeanor or a felony, many online crimes bring down federal charges. You may be investigated by federal agencies, including the FBI, and have your personal and professional life turned upside down. Fraud investigations can severely damage your business relations and have a lasting impact on your career. This does not even begin to account for the expensive court fines and long prison sentence you face for a conviction. To protect your future, career, and reputation, you need to work with the Los Angeles federal crime defense lawyers at Werksman Jackson & Quinn LLP.
