The law continues to evolve in an attempt to keep pace with changing technology and protect the public.

Cyber-bullying
Using technology such as social networking web sites to harass, antagonize or cause harm to someone else is referred to as cyber-bullying. It has become a major concern for teenagers, college students and their families. Unfortunately, innocent people can be charged with cyber-bullying if their identity is stolen and the perpetrator sets up a false social media account posing as the innocent person and harassing a victim. Our experienced criminal defense attorneys work hard to uncover the truth and protect the rights of those falsely accused of this serious crime.
Popular social media sites that are sometimes used for cyber-bullying are:
- MySpace
Defense for the Full Range of Internet Crimes
Social networks are also used for other crimes, and we build strong defenses for clients accused of these crimes. We defend those facing charges of:
- Luring and solicitation of children online
- Child pornography
- Credit card fraud
- Hacking
- Phishing (setting up web sites for the purpose of defrauding users)
We have an extensive network of law enforcement officials and attorneys throughout the country who can assist us in these complex cases. We have the resources and knowledge needed to represent people charged with Internet crimes in other states and other countries who were extradited to New York to face charges.
