Computer Crimes

We have successfully represented a broad range of clients in computer-related criminal investigations and prosecutions in Boston and beyond, including the recent dismissal of a high-profile prosecution of a foreign national accused of improperly accessing the computer network of a business competitor. Pretrial release is often a significant hurdle in these types of prosecutions. In a recent prosecution, after multiple hearings and detailed factual presentations, we successfully persuaded a judge to reverse an earlier decision of pretrial detention, ultimately providing our client the freedom and ability to defend the serious allegations, all of which were eventually dismissed.

The stakes could not be higher. The Department of Justice has dedicated an entire section devoted to investigating and prosecuting these offenses. It is therefore imperative that you obtain legal representation as early as possible if you or a family member is the subject of a computer or internet related investigation or prosecution. These matters are often factually and legally complex. We have the resources, experience and skills to effectively defend these investigations or prosecutions in Boston and beyond, and invite you to contact us to learn more.

"Rob guided me through the most difficult time in my life ... His preparation for the case and his execution in trial were truly the difference ... I truly trusted him with my life and he came through. Not a great promoter or guy who likes to hype, but he delivers where it counts. I am truly grateful that I selected his name over the vast number of attorneys in the Boston area. I rarely provide recommendations, but in Rob's case, I recommend that anyone facing serious criminal charges, where their freedom and livelihood is at stake, that they contact Rob."
