Essex County Computer Crime Lawyers
In recent years, social networking websites and other forms of social media have shrunk the gap between our public and private lives. Unsurprisingly, identity theft is on the rise. Law enforcement agencies are utilizing increasing resources to investigate these allegations. Identity theft charges are very damaging, and can impact your life in many ways. If you or someone you love faces this charge, it is imperative to have dedicated legal counsel on your side. We are the Morristown, New Jersey, law firm of Maynard & Sumner, LLC. We defend against all types of criminal allegations, including identity theft.
Under New Jersey law, identity theft can involve a wide variety of activities, including:
- Impersonating or assuming a false identity for the purpose of obtaining a benefit or injuring another
- Obtaining personal or identifying information and using this information to assume the identity of another person, without that person's authorization and with the purpose of fraudulently obtaining benefits
Identity theft charges are based on the amount of money taken or the number of victims. In the most serious cases, identity theft can be charged as a second-degree crime.
In the information age, identity theft charges are often supported by voluminous paper or electronic evidence. Our New Jersey identity theft attorneys are ready to sift through this evidence and explore any weak points in the state's case. We will exploit any inconsistencies or weaknesses to your full advantage. As a result of our aggressive, strategic approach to criminal defense, we have helped many clients avoid the worst aspects of a conviction, or avoid conviction altogether.
