Cyber Crime Defense

Experienced and Tech-Savvy Cyber Crime Lawyer

The cyber crime area of practice is quickly developing at a pace much faster than the case law pertaining to it. Only a firm with extensive experience and technical know-how like Evan Hughes can effectively advise and successfully defend a client or entity facing Internet crime charges.

Often, government agents involved in an investigation have minimal training and only a basic understanding of the investigative techniques they employ and the data they collect. As a result, the data and forensic analysis can be misrepresented or misunderstood. Such “evidence” is then used against cyber crime defendants incorrectly or falsely unbeknownst to the defendant and their attorney. Careful analysis and inspection of all digital discovery by an experienced cyber crime attorney is essential to successfully defend any such case. Evan Hughes practices in this area throughout the country and stays up-to-date by frequently participating in national conferences and symposiums on the topic.

If you have been accused of a digital crime or feel that digital evidence may be incorrectly used against you, contact Philadelphia Cyber Crime Lawyer Evan Hughes for a confidential case evaluation to discuss your options.
