What You Need to Know About Internet Crimes
Various types of fraud and identity theft are committed through the use of the internet. Not all internet crimes are intended for financial gain. Some illegal activities on the internet are committed as pranks or innocently. There are government units in the FBI and the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation which assist with investigations into all types of computer crimes.
If you are being investigated or have been charged with an internet crime, it is crucial that you obtain the assistance of a Nashville criminal defense attorney who can help you to avoid the severe penalties of a conviction.
Why a Nashville Internet Crimes Defense Lawyer?
Internet crime is an evolving area of the law as legislators are continuously passing new laws concerning computer crimes. Because the internet has no state borders, a Tennessee resident on a computer may unwittingly commit a crime in another state and end up facing state or federal charges.
An experienced Nashville internet crimes defense lawyer at our firm defends individuals and businesses alleged to have committed such internet offenses as:
- Spoofing
- Phishing
- Hacking
- Stalking
- Theft of trade secrets
- Identity theft
- Credit card fraud
- Internet fraud
- Child pornography
- Crimes against children
In a web crime investigation it isn’t unusual for an individual’s rights to be “trampled on”. Law enforcement cyber crime investigators who are not fully expert in computer forensics can make mistakes. An individual who has unintentionally committed a minor offense may find himself charged with serious state or federal crimes.
It takes a criminal defense lawyer with a thorough understanding of the state and federal law as it relates to evidence and discovery in computer forensics to aggressively protect your rights. Call Nash Law, PLLC for a consultation concerning your defense.
