THE PROBLEM SOLVER

Cyber Crime Defense Attorney in Michigan

Cyber Crimes

Nearly 4.5 billion people used the internet in 2019 – that equals 9 percent growth in about one year. Revelations in 2013 by the US government covert surveillance of ordinary citizens’ internet activities have not hindered the growth and adoption of the internet and social media. Both have become widely recognized as essential communications and information sharing platforms.

However, one needs to accept that anonymity and privacy are not guaranteed when browsing the web or using cloud-based services, social media, and free communication apps. Law enforcement can use evidence collected from online surveillance to obtain warrants and seize computers as part of a criminal investigation. Regardless of how tidy you keep your computer’s file system, deleted files can be recovered quickly by law enforcement using forensic software and sophisticated methods for data recovery.

If you or a loved one are facing charges for an internet crime, you need qualified legal representation to defend your case. Patrick O’Keefe is a Lansing criminal defense attorney experienced in Michigan state and federal law. He can represent you in court against cybercrime charges. Call O’Keefe Law at 517-273-0420 to schedule a confidential free consultation to review your case.
