Internet Crimes Lawyer Serving Williamsville And Across New York
A criminal charge tied to the internet can upend your life, your career and everything you have built. I am Rob Singer, and I have served as a federal prosecutor and defense attorney in dozens of trials and hundreds of cases in my 20-year legal career. At Singer Legal PLLC, I put that experience to work for you.
Common Types Of Internet Crime Charges In New York
Internet crime is a broad term that covers a wide range of state and federal charges. If authorities have targeted you, the specific charge you face shapes your entire defense. Some of the most common types include:
- Cyber fraud and financial fraud: Wire fraud, bank fraud and other money-related crimes carried out through digital channels
- Hacking and unauthorized access: Accessing a computer system or network without legal permission
- Online sex crimes: Charges involving child exploitation material, online solicitation or related offenses
- Identity theft: Stealing someone’s personal information to commit fraud or impersonate them
- Cyberstalking and online harassment: Using digital communication to threaten, intimidate or harass another person
Any one of these charges can lead to federal prosecution and penalties that follow you for years. The sooner you speak with me at Singer Legal PLLC, the better your position.
Internet Crime Penalties And Your Defense Options
A conviction for an internet crime in New York can carry serious consequences. Depending on the charge, you could face:
- Federal prison time
- Substantial fines
- Restitution payments
- Years of supervised release
- Forfeiture of assets
- Sex offender registration for certain sex-related convictions
Those penalties make a strong defense essential. Depending on the facts of your case, viable defense options may include:
- Challenging digital forensics methodology
- Disputing how investigators obtained evidence
- Questioning the government’s claims about your intent
- Demonstrating that a shared device or compromised account led to mistaken identity
As a former federal prosecutor, I know how the government builds these cases and exactly where they are most vulnerable.
