Criminal Defense Overview

Internet Crime

Internet Crime Defense Lawyer, Miami, Florida

Internet crimes are prosecuted by powerful and well-oiled 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 you should 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 provide representation to clients throughout the United States from our Miami-Dade County office.

We provide powerful representation for those facing charges of Internet crime.
Defense lawyers at our Miami, Florida, criminal law firm are led by partner David Rothman. Both have served as prosecutors and are bar-certified criminal defense specialists. 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.

Pornography, child pornography, and online child solicitation:
You may 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.

Internet fraud:
Charges of using the Internet for 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 fraud charges involve online identity theft.

Internet gambling:
One of the largest online economic activities is Internet gambling. Sometimes it is unclear whether the activities are illegal. If such is the case, 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.
