Defending Against Internet Crime Charges
Have you been accused of a theft crime or a sex crime involving the Internet? These are complex cases and, if convicted, you could face serious penalties, penalties that could have a permanent impact on your future.
You need a lawyer who understands how to navigate through complex charges. You need an attorney with experience that you can trust. You need an attorney who will fight to win.
I am Michael Spano. I have been handling criminal matters in Syracuse and Central New York for more than 17 years. I have served as a criminal prosecutor and now bring that knowledge to the defense side.
Theft and Fraud Crimes Involving the Internet
I am able to defend against all Internet crimes related to theft or fraud, including:
- Credit card fraud
- Identity theft
- Ebay fraud
The prosecution in these cases relies heavily on technical evidence. I have the knowledge to sort through this evidence, to challenge evidence that doesn't make sense or that was acquired through illegal search and seizure. I have the knowledge to shape the facts into a defense strategy designed to protect your rights.
Sex Crimes Involving the Internet
I am able to defend against Internet sex crimes, including:
- Child pornography charges, including possession and distribution
- Solicitation of a minor online
Like other Internet crime cases, the evidence against the accused is typically obtained from a computer and is technical in nature. They carry an additional challenge in that jury members are frequently biased against people accused of sex crimes. Not only must an attorney overcome that bias, they must be able to communicate complex technical information to jurors. I have the experience to handle these challenges.
