Helping You Face Any Internet Claim

Many criminal charges have been brought against people in New Jersey in response to alleged conduct on the Internet, including:

• Fraud
• Identity theft
• Other theft
• Soliciting sex from a minor
• Other sex crimes

The seemingly anonymous atmosphere of the Internet can create situations where people get themselves into trouble by either actually committing a crime or engaging in behavior that makes it look like they have committed or will commit a crime.

Conviction on an Internet crime charge can lead to serious social and criminal consequences, so you should be prepared to mount a vigorous criminal defense.

Knowledgeable About Unique Online Issues

While Internet crimes are more of a general category than a unique set of criminal charges, there are several unique issues that arise on the Internet.

On the Internet, people have very little information to help them establish the identity of other people with whom they are interacting. Police and prosecutors will frequently take advantage of this fact by using undercover agents to get evidence of Internet crimes.

This can raise issues of illegal entrapment that we are prepared to fully explore if you are charged with an Internet crime. Also, if you are charged with a crime involving a minor, and the supposed minor was actually an adult police officer, the prosecution has to prove your intent of actually soliciting a minor.
