Identity Theft | Internet Fraud | Credit Card Crimes

Peter E. Brill is a former assistant district attorney with more than 15 years of experience in criminal defense, including white collar crimes. He has defended clients on a wide range of allegations:

• Theft or unauthorized use of credit cards or checks
• Buying merchandise online with stolen cards and returning it for cash “refunds”
• Sale or possession of credit card numbers or Social Security numbers
• “Phishing” — fraudulently obtaining personal financial data over the Internet
• Forgery of identification documents (driver’s licenses, passports, green cards)
• Related federal charges of wire fraud or conspiracy

We have represented clients accused of organized or large-scale crimes, such as selling 1,000 credit card numbers or trolling unsecured wireless connections for sensitive data. If you are accused as an accomplice in an identity theft ring, we work to show that you were innocent or only a small-time player.

We have also represented individuals caught with credit card numbers or charged with receiving stolen merchandise. We make the prosecution prove that you knew the stuff was “hot” or that you made the transaction and not someone else. We explore every possible defense.

Our number one goal is to avoid prison/jail time and a felony conviction on your record. Mr. Brill and his legal team are skilled in investigation and negotiation to avoid the worst penalties, and we are prepared to go to trial to fight for your freedom and future.
