The state and federal government has dedicated significant resources to cracking down on a variety of computer crimes, including online identity theft. With prosecutors anxious to help with the crackdown on Internet fraud and cyber crimes, individuals under investigation for or charged with identity theft can greatly benefit from hiring an experienced and hardworking criminal defense lawyer.
Identity theft is defined as the fraudulent use of someone else's identifying information, such as a name, Social Security number, credit card number, driver's license or passport. Often, this stolen information is used to make a purchase, open new credit accounts, make fraudulent transactions and to impersonate someone for the purpose of employment.
There are both state and federal statutes that address identity theft, and the severity of a criminal charge can vary depending on how the stolen information was used.
