A federal computer crime accusation, a wire fraud allegation, or a digital asset dispute doesn’t arrive as a single, contained legal problem. Criminal exposure, regulatory questions, and civil litigation can all surface at once—and decisions made early tend to shape everything that follows.
We take on select matters where technology and the law meet at a consequential point. Our clients include individuals and businesses across state and federal courts nationwide, as well as international clients whose situations demand a clear, trial-ready strategy.
Here’s a closer look at the work we handle and the questions that bring clients to us.
When Criminal and Civil Exposure Arrive Together
Computer law matters don’t stay neatly in one lane. A criminal investigation can disrupt a business. A civil dispute can draw regulatory attention. We handle both, which matters because the choices made on one side of a case often affect the other.
We represent individuals accused by the federal government of computer crimes, including hacking, and our criminal practice extends to select white collar defense matters—particularly wire fraud. These cases combine complex technical facts with serious criminal exposure, and that combination demands both careful legal analysis and genuine readiness for trial.
Business Counsel and Civil Litigation
Businesses operating in and around technology often face legal questions before a dispute becomes public or a regulator raises concerns. We consult with businesses on their obligations under computer laws, particularly as federal rules continue to take shape. As the video notes, some of these are “laws that are just being developed by the federal government”—which calls for a deliberate approach to compliance, formation, and the litigation risks that can follow.
Our civil and business work includes:
- Civil litigation involving blockchain, cryptocurrency, cybercrime, and digital assets
- Business law
- Entity formation
- Regulatory compliance
- Business consulting related to computer laws
