Identity Theft/Internet Crimes

California Identity Theft and Internet Sex Crimes Attorneys

Identity theft is a crime that has grown in its frequency and complexity. At the East Bay-based law firm of Rueb, Motta & Manoukian, our attorneys defend clients throughout the area, including Pittsburg, Antioch, Oakley, Brentwood, Discovery Bay, Oakland, Concord and Walnut Creek.

Defending Clients Against Identity Theft and Child Pornography Charges

The act of stealing someone’s identity or manufacturing a new identity goes far beyond stealing mail from a mailbox. The United States Secret Service estimated that at least 700,000 people were victims of identity theft in 2000. Child pornography can be easily obtained through a computer, sometimes without the knowledge of the person receiving it. The advent and growth of the internet has allowed individuals to not only commit serious crimes, but also face false allegations of identity theft or possession of child pornography.

Aggressively Advocating For Clients Charged with Identity Theft

As former Contra Costa County prosecutors and skilled criminal defense attorneys, we have handled complex computer crimes involving identity theft or child pornography. Particularly in crimes involving children, you must be aware that your best strategy is to say nothing during and following your arrest. Let us be the first person you speak to so we can help. Talking to the police or prosecutors is not advised and could compromise your case.
