Phoenix Internet Crimes Lawyer

Have You Been Charged With An Internet Crime in Phoenix?

Internet crime is a relatively new area of law. The legislature is continuously creating new laws concerning internet crimes in order to protect the public from various types of fraudulent activities. The internet and electronic devices have allowed the government to intrude into a citizen’s private life more than ever before. Government investigators can now closely follow what an individual user does on the web. Their ability to identify a particular computer on the internet and recover data from a computer's hard drive provides them with a wealth of information during a criminal investigation and prosecution. If you are the target of an investigation or have been charged with a computer or internet related crime, consult an experienced Phoenix criminal defense attorney to discuss your legal options.
