Unintentional Computer Crime

When charged with a criminal offense such as fraud or embezzlement, most people are shocked. Individuals usually do not see themselves as criminals. However, the explosion of access to computer technology has made it possible for people to become unwitting violators of the law. For example, a jealous ex-spouse who monitors the ex's email could easily be charged with stalking, a criminal offense. Unwanted, pornographic "pop-ups" on your computer may feature models under 18, and your computer automatically saves copies of this child pornography to an invisible directory on your computer.

Business Litigation

Computers also make all types of intentional fraud and embezzlement possible. In addition to his years as a criminal defense lawyer, our attorney worked as a programmer. His combination of legal and technical experience benefits our clients charged with computer crimes such as identity theft, extortion, and tax evasion.

Civil Actions and Criminal Defense

Our attorney has the knowledge and experience to handle cases involving several areas of the law, including those that demand skills in both civil litigation and criminal defense. For example, our firm represented a business in a matter involving the theft of computer code by a dismissed employee. The former employee then began a new business using the stolen code. We filed a civil lawsuit and requested a temporary injunction against the ex-employee to recover damages arising from the code theft and stop him from operating his new business. Although in this instance we were acting for the victim, the case is typical of the way Doerfler Law Firm approaches white collar matters, using all areas of the law to achieve the best results for our clients.
