Identity Theft
Identity theft is a type of white collar crime that involves using another person’s
personal information to accomplish some type of fraud, whether credit card fraud,
collecting someone else’s social security, or any number of other criminal activities
that involve stealing or faking personal information. If you or someone in your
family has been charged with identity theft, you should know that these are very
serious charges. In many cases, identity theft charges can cross state and even
national borders. These cases will often be heard in federal courts, and a
sophisticated defense is necessary if you are to fight off these false accusations.
As you might imagine, the laws that surround identity theft are complicated. Exactly
what constitutes identity theft can vary depending on the defendant’s exact situation.
Your defense will change based on what sort of operation you were allegedly involved in
and what sort of damages resulted from that. In other words, these cases are extremely
complex. To make matters worse, investigations often go on for months or even years
before charges are filed, so the prosecution has much more time to prepare than you do.
