If you have been accused of or are under investigation for an internet crime, it is important to act quickly and work with a criminal defense lawyer who has a good understanding of internet crimes and their successful defenses – and who has your best interests in mind.
Defending internet crimes is an area of criminal law that is complex and constantly changing due to new technological developments. It is also an area of law that is getting more attention from law enforcement agencies throughout the United States. The FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) has created a special division dedicated to internet fraud, called the Internet Fraud Complaint Center, to help devote more time and manpower to locating and preventing internet crimes involving fraud.
Criminal defense attorney James N. Dicks has worked hard to stay abreast of internet laws and regulations to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to successful defenses of internet crimes. Because they are usually high-tech and may not leave much physical evidence, many internet crimes can be hard for the prosecution to prove. Attorney James Dicks can use this and other factors in your favor to help you avoid a conviction.
