Fresno Cyber Crime Lawyer
What Is a Computer Crime?
When an individual extracts personal/confidential information from a computer or uses a computer to commit a crime or felony, it is referred to as a computer crime or a “high tech crime.” California Penal Code § 13848(a) defines a high technology crime as a crime “in which technology is used as an instrument in committing, or assisting in the commission of, a crime.” Types of computer crimes include internet scams, identity theft, bait-and-switch, spam, fraud and piracy.
Sentencing for Computer Crimes
Penalties for such crimes vary depending on the type of crime committed using a computer. For example, California Pen. Code § 470-483.5 states the penalty for fraud and forgery to be up to a year in prison and/or a $1,000 fine, while § 503-515 states that embezzlement penalties vary depending on the type of property stolen.

I highly recommend this firm. They are very busy, so sometimes you may need to be persistent in calling them. BUT they are experienced in accidents cases and fight for what money you deserve. They are honest and inform their clients on what to expect. Their lien doctors are excellent. You get all the medical treatment you need.

This was the first time I had needed to hire an attorney. I met with 7 different lawyers before I decided. Right away you can see this is a very professional firm.

I would and do recommend them to my friends.

"I will forever be grateful to this office who helped me."I retained the office to help me with some very serious charges that would hurt my career and long time goals. I was wrongfully accused of taking materials from a job site. I did not take them, this law office help prove my innocence. They helped me find an investigator for my case. The staff was always ready to help me and willing to go the extra step when I had questions. The Attorney later was able to get my case dismissed. I will forever be grateful to this office who helped me. I recommend Sawl Law Group if you want someone fighting for you.- Preston D.
