We fight aggressively on your behalf and help you get the best possible outcome.

Without question, computers play an ever increasing and extremely important role in American society.

From banking and financial transactions to medical records and ecommerce, computers are deeply entrenched into our daily lives and we’ve become dependent on their security and integrity.

And with so much sensitive information being sent and received by computers, the threat of security breaches are constantly imminent.

Although computers have been involved far more commonly in crimes of the modern era, law enforcement and prosecuting agencies still haven’t all gotten up to speed on their knowledge and education of computer forensics in a way that they can adequately investigate or prosecute cyber crimes.

On occasion, law enforcement has been known to demonstrate a lack of understanding towards computer science by often rushing to judgment against the defendant. Along with that, they have also been known to make attempts at undermining the rights of defendants along with the foundations of the criminal justice system by executing entrapment sting operations.

In recent years, authorities have become more aggressive in their pursuit of landing convictions for Internet and computer related crimes. They have also brought more sophisticated tools and equipment while incorporating trained computer experts into task force operations.

As a result, many unsuspecting offenders end up getting caught in their traps.

What kind of penalties can I expect if I am convicted of a computer, Internet, or cyber crime?

Second-degree felonies for computer crimes in Florida typically result in a term of imprisonment for up to fifteen (15) years and fines of up to $10,000, or both.

First-degree Felony:
