Denver Computer Crimes Attorney

Computer Crimes

There is no substitute for experience. For more than 30 years, I have successfully protected the rights of people accused of computer crimes.

Laws defining computer crimes and their associated penalties are always changing. As technology changes, the law must rush to catch up and many people are left wondering what is legal and what is illegal. If you have been accused of a computer crime, it is imperative you hire an attorney familiar with the territory. An experienced criminal defense attorney will understand the charges levied against you, be they federal or state, and do all he can to protect your rights.

I am an Colroado computer crimes lawyer very familiar with technology-focused criminal cases. My firm stays up-to-date on the evolution of laws governing computer crimes. These cases are often federal due to the reach of technology and I have been admitted to practice at both the state and federal level in Wyoming, Colorado, and Arizona. I also have access to a wide range of expert witnesses who we can use to build your defense.

I have more than two decades experience working with people in need of a strong defense against criminal charges. I provide an aggressive and comprehensive defense for people charged with:

Has your employer experienced computer or network problems and accused you of planting bad code? Have accounting errors resulted in accusations of embezzlement against you? Did you fail to disclose information on a digital loan document? I can help!

In other situations, bank fraud charges can result by not disclosing all or accurate information on digital loan documents. One example is not stating how much debt you have accumulated.

Identity theft criminal defense in Colorado – hire an atorney with skill and experience

Have you been accused of identity theft? I explore all possible avenues when building your defense.

  • Were you a victim of an illegal search?
  • Was a wiretap placed on your phone to obtain information illegally?
  • Were any seizures of information executed legally?

All of these issues are important for building your defense.

Evidence standards, procedures, and sentencing guidelines are all different in federal court. There might be mandatory minimums for prison sentences if there is a conviction, but it is possible to prevent this type of worst case scenario. I do all I can to expose flaws in the case against you and protect your rights if you are accused of a computer crime. Contact me today for experienced, by submitting a consultation request or call 303.228.2270 for immediate assistance with your Colorado criminal defense matter.

the most serious form of a computer

0:06

crime would be anytime you find yourself

0:09

charged in federal court because Federal

0:11

sentences are usually much harsher than

0:14

State sentences federal crimes are much

0:19

more thoroughly investigated because the

0:21

federal government has a lot more

0:22

resources than the state has the federal

0:25

government tends to

0:28

prosecute cases like oh hacking

0:31

government computers or hacking the

0:33

computer of maybe a former employer

0:36

because that that affects interstate

0:38

commerce which then gives the federal

0:40

court jurisdiction to prosecute that

0:43

case and it’s much more serious to be

0:45

charged in federal court than it is in

0:47

state courts so when there’s one of

0:49

these investigations going on to the

0:51

extent we can insert ourselves in the

0:53

investigation with the people who are

0:55

doing the investigation the

0:57

investigative law enforcement agents if

0:59

it’s certain that charges are going to

1:01

be filed we always try and push it

1:02

towards State Court prosecution as

1:04

opposed to a federal court prosecution

1:05

because the results and the outcome can

1:08

be better if we push it into State Court

computer crimes are prosecuted in both state and

0:08

federal court in State Court as far as

0:12

computer crimes we see various hacking

0:15

this sometimes occurs in the domestic

0:17

relationship where a husband or a wife

0:20

will use the password to access The

0:23

spouse’s emails that’s a crime under

0:25

state law in Colorado there are also a

0:28

number of types of sex crimes that could

0:29

be committed online there’s downloading

0:32

child pornography and then there’s also

0:34

uh attempting to have relationships with

0:39

a minor that occurs online both of those

0:41

last two type sex crimes are prosecuted

0:44

in state and federal court and the

0:46

difference in terms of where they’re

0:48

prosecuted depends on how serious the

0:51

prosecutors view the offense so if there

0:55

are thousands and thousands of images of

0:56

child pornography or if the child

0:58

pornography was created that’s more

1:00

likely to become a federal crime than if

1:03

there were five or six images that were

1:04

downloaded which is more likely to

1:06

become a state crime

1:08

as far as these uh attempts to have

1:11

sexual relations with a minor those

1:13

occur usually when somebody’s engaged

1:16

with a police officer there’s not

1:18

actually a minor on the other end it’s a

1:20

sting and both the state and uh the

1:23

federal government through the office of

1:24

Homeland Security usually have those

1:27

types of resources out there on the

1:29

internet trying to catch people who

1:32

might be attempting to have sex with a

1:34

minor
