Aggressive Defense Against Internet Crime Charges
Online activity can destroy your future. What seems like simple internet use can lead to serious criminal charges carrying harsh sentences and life-changing consequences. At the Law Offices of John J. Fioravanti Jr., we bring decades of experience defending clients against internet crime allegations. Since 1979, our attorney has fought hard to protect clients’ rights and reduce the impact of these charges. Based in Doylestown, we handle internet crime cases throughout Bucks County and across Pennsylvania.
We know how prosecutors build these cases. We know the technology, the digital evidence and the tactics law enforcement uses. This knowledge positions us to challenge their case at every turn and fight for the best outcome.
Fighting Charges For All Types Of Internet Crimes
Internet crime covers many offenses that took place online. Each charge carries serious consequences that can impact your freedom, your reputation and your ability to work. We defend clients against:
- Exploitation or solicitation of minors and inappropriate online relationships with minors
- Distribution, transmitting or downloading of child pornography
- Online stalking or harassment
- Online fraud and identity theft
- Stealing credit card information or other personal data
- Hacking, illegal data access and phishing schemes
These cases require immediate action and thorough investigation. We dive deep into the technical details because internet crime cases often turn on digital evidence that prosecutors misinterpret or law enforcement obtains illegally.
How Do State And Federal Internet Crime Charges Differ? How Do We Fight The Most Severe Cases?
Charges such as child pornography or certain types of fraud can quickly escalate to federal court, where sentencing guidelines are far more severe. This is not a risk you can take lightly. We have decades of experience in federal criminal defense. We will aggressively fight to protect you from the severity of a federal conviction.
Federal cases involve mandatory minimum sentences that eliminate judicial discretion. Federal prosecutors have vast resources at their disposal. Our goal is always to confront the charges head-on and fight to minimize them as much as possible, no matter the jurisdiction. We know federal court procedures, federal case law and how to push back against federal investigators’ methods.
What Are The Primary Defense Strategies We Use To Fight Internet Crime Allegations?
We will conduct a thorough investigation because these cases often turn on technical details. We look for crucial defense angles such as cases of mistaken identity or someone using another person’s computer without their knowledge. We also carefully review law enforcement’s conduct to determine if they engaged in entrapment, which violates your rights.
In many child pornography cases, you may have accidentally downloaded certain files along with other legal content. In other cases, hackers or malware may have broken in to your computer without you knowing. If the prosecution’s case is built on a shaky foundation, we will expose it and aggressively fight for the best possible outcome. We work with digital forensics professionals when necessary to challenge the state’s technical evidence.
