Los Angeles Internet Crimes Lawyer

Phishing Defense Attorney in Los Angeles

Phishing is an internet fraud crime which is associated with email spoofing. The end result of a spoofing scheme is to have victims visit a fraudulent website and enter their personal information (username, password, account information, credit card information, etc.) so the perpetrator can then use this information for personal gain.

Contact a Los Angeles internet crime defense attorney if you have been accused of phishing. You will need an attorney on your side who can defend your rights even in the face of these serious criminal charges, many of which involve federal authorities and prosecutors. This means that you may face maximum federal penalties for these offenses, which can add up to tens of years in state prison and fines of up to $250,000 or more, depending upon the particular offenses.

Because phishing and other related internet crimes may be very technical in nature, it is important to consult a lawyer who will understand the charges you face and who can conduct an investigation which will uncover physical evidence in your favor.
