Miami Criminal Charges Attorney
Miami Internet Crimes Defense Lawyer
Criminal investigation and prosecution of Internet crimes is growing as the Internet
grows. Virtually every federal law enforcement agency now has a specialized division to
focus on computer and Internet crimes. If you have been charged with an Internet
crime, you need a lawyer's advice as soon as possible. The laws governing the
Internet are being developed and redefined on a constant basis. An attorney
specializing in this area must stay up-to-date.
Miami criminal defense attorney Bruce Alter has handled many cases related to
computer fraud and the Internet. At the Law Offices of Bruce A. Alter we always consider
involving technical experts to help with the defense. Among the Internet crimes handled
by our office are:
Internet Pornography/Child pornography
Internet gambling
Internet Identify theft
Internet Pharmacy
Internet Fraud
One of the most common Internet crimes involves identify theft. By hacking onto web
sites or phishing (masquerading as a trustworthy business entity in an e-mail
communication or a web site), people can attempt to obtain user names, passwords,
credit card numbers, Social Security numbers, or driver's license numbers. The
information is often used to make purchases or apply for credit cards. There has been
a tremendous increase in criminal prosecutions of Identity Theft and related crimes,
and an increase in the punishment.
The government is also increasing the number of people it arrests for Internet
gambling. In the early days of the Internet, it was perfectly legal to set up an offshore
corporation and create a web site where people could go online and gamble. However,
Congress has tightened its control of gambling and now it is often illegal to accept
wagers on-line. We are prepared to intervene during the early stages of any criminal
investigation into Internet gambling.
