Florida High-Tech Crime Defense Lawyers
Data Mining • Identity Theft • Child Pornography
Federal prosecutors employ ever more sophisticated tools to keep pace with burgeoning computer crimes. However, their efforts to detect fraud and track cyber-criminals often lead to unsupportable conclusions or tracing criminal activities to the wrong individuals.
At Charles B. Lembcke, P.A., a Jacksonville, Florida criminal defense firm, we keep government investigators honest by confronting their allegations head-on. We have successfully represented employees and private individuals throughout Florida investigated or indicted for computer crimes:
- Unauthorized access (hacking) to obtain customer databases, trade secrets, health records, passwords, or sensitive personal information
- Dissemination of stolen information, such as resale of consolidated consumer information to rogue insurance companies
- Large-scale identity theft and credit card operations
- Major Internet scams
- Possession and distribution of child pornography
- Related charges of conspiracy, wire fraud or obstruction of justice
Proving that a computer was hacked or that individuals were harmed by data mining is one thing. Proving who perpetrated a computer crime is much more difficult. Charles B. Lembcke, P.A. has prevailed in notable cases, using computer experts of our own to cast reasonable doubt on the government's case. Criminals use advanced methods to hide their trail and implicate others, hijacking the hard drives and Internet connections of innocent citizens. Computer whiz kids hack into corporate or government databases to prove they can, with no criminal intent to steal. A person without authorized access — even a child of the defendant — may have used the computer or remotely accessed an online account.
Charles Lembcke and Karen Lippes are highly experienced trial lawyers who will explore all possible defenses for clients charged with a computer crime. Contact our Jacksonville office immediately at (877) 355-5467 if you have been questioned or arrested.
