Cyber crime cases can involve complex digital evidence: IP addresses, device searches, account access, data logs, and communications pulled from phones or computers. Whether the accusation involves hacking, online fraud, harassment, or other internet-related allegations, Levine Law provides strategic criminal defense for cyber crimes in Milwaukee and across Wisconsin. We approach these cases with discretion, technical awareness, and trial-ready preparation.
Common Cyber and Computer Crime Charges
Cyber and computer crimes can include a wide range of allegations, such as:
- Unauthorized access / hacking-related accusations
- Computer fraud and technology-enabled financial crimes
Identity theft and account misuse - Online solicitation-related allegations
- Cyberstalking, harassment, or threatening communication
- Illegal digital content allegations (handled with strict discretion and confidentiality)
- Device search cases involving phones, laptops, cloud accounts, and stored media
Why Digital Evidence Must Be Challenged Carefully
Searches and Warrants Are Often the Battlefield
Many cyber cases depend on how devices were seized and searched. We review warrants, scope, timing, and whether law enforcement exceeded legal limits.
Technical Evidence Can Be Misinterpreted
An IP address, a shared device, or an account login does not automatically prove who acted. We work to identify alternative explanations and evidentiary gaps.
Forensics and Chain of Custody Matter
Digital evidence must be collected and preserved properly. We examine how data was extracted, stored, and handled-because mistakes can change outcomes.
Stigma and Privacy Concerns
Some internet-related charges carry severe stigma. We handle these matters with respect and discretion, focusing on the facts and protecting your rights.
How We Defend Cyber Crime Allegations
Depending on the case, we may:
- Challenge the legality of the stop, seizure, or device search
- Review warrants for scope and constitutional defects
- Analyze whether the evidence proves identity, intent, and knowledge
- Work with qualified forensic resources when needed to interpret data
- Identify suppression issues, procedural errors, and evidentiary weaknesses
- Negotiate strategically while preparing for trial when required
