Riverside Internet & Cyber Crimes Attorney

Internet and cybercrimes are taken very seriously by both California officials and federal government authorities. These crimes typically involve unauthorized access to private for confidential information stored online, on internet databases, or on computers. The laws surrounding internet and cybercrimes can be incredibly complicated, and you will need a skilled attorney by your side to help with your case. The Riverside internet in cybercrimes attorneys at the Law Offices of Graham Donath, APC are ready to get to work on your behalf today.

Types of Internet Crimes

There are various types of internet and cybercrimes that we help people get through:

  • Fraud
  • Hacking
  • Identity theft
  • Data theft
  • Scamming
  • Computer viruses
  • Ransomware
  • Spamming fishing
  • Cyberstalking
  • Child pornography
  • Cyberbullying

With each of these crimes, and others related to internet and cybercrime issues, they often revolve around the unauthorized use or stealing of private and confidential information. What complicates these charges in many cases is the fact that the person allegedly committing the crime can face both state and federal charges. This will require a skilled attorney with the expertise in handling both systems. It cannot be overstated that these crimes are taken seriously, and it may not be enough to rely on an overworked public defender to reach the best possible outcome for your case.

Defenses for cybercrimes

While the penalties for violating internet and cybercrime laws can be severe, there are several defense strategies that may be employed. At the Law Offices of Graham Donath, APC, we often employ the following strategies:

  • Authorization. It could be shown that the person charged with the cybercrime was actually authorized to access the information.
  • Lack of knowledge. In order for these charges to stick, it must be proven that the defendant knew what they were doing, and they intended to commit a crime. It could be shown the person charged did not know that certain forms they filled out were fake or that they themselves were scammed.
  • Coercion. It could be shown that the person charged with a cybercrime was forced to commit the crime because they were under threat of harm or punishment to themselves or their loved ones.

Securing the Best Possible Outcome in Your Case

When crafting a defense for a cybercrime or Internet crime, the goal at the Law Offices of Graham Donath, APC will be to secure the best possible outcome for your case. This typically means one of three routes:

  • Getting the charges against you dropped completely
  • A plea deal that results in the charges against you being reduced
  • Taking the case to trial so we can defend you in the courtroom
