Computer Crimes

I am attorney Peter Polidoro, and I defend people charged with the following computer and Internet crimes:

• Computer fraud
• Identity theft
• Credit card fraud
• Obtaining a credit card by fraud
• Auction fraud (eBay fraud)
• Internet sex crimes

Depending on the alleged crime, you may be facing both state and federal charges. Federal charges are often more serious than state charges. If convicted of both a state and federal offense, you may be facing enhanced penalties. To find out about your specific charges and the possible penalties, simply contact me.

How the Police Gather Information

The police have the authority to get search warrants to search and seize private computers. Any evidence gathered on the computer can be used against the accused.

In another tactic commonly used in Internet sex crime cases, a police officer poses as a minor in a chat room. When an adult engages in an online chat with an alleged minor, the chat may be recorded. Any incriminating evidence gathered in that conversation can be used against the accused.

If you are under investigation for committing a computer or Internet crime, it is important to contact an attorney as quickly as possible. The prosecution has already begun building its case against you, and they may have obtained damaging evidence.
