In an increasingly digital world, computer crimes have become a serious legal concern with potentially devastating consequences. Whether you’re facing charges related to hacking, identity theft, unauthorized computer access, cyberstalking, or other technology-related offenses, the stakes couldn’t be higher. A computer crimes conviction can result in substantial prison time, hefty fines, restitution orders, and permanent damage to your professional reputation and career prospects.
At the Law Offices of Joseph A. Simon, PLLC, we understand the complexities of computer crimes cases and the unique challenges they present. With over 35 years of experience defending serious criminal charges throughout Southeast Michigan, we bring sophisticated legal expertise and strategic insight to help protect your rights when facing digital crime allegations.
Computer crimes encompass a wide range of offenses, including unauthorized access to computer systems, creation and distribution of malware, phishing schemes, online fraud, identity theft, cyberstalking, and unauthorized use of computer resources. These charges can be prosecuted at both the state and federal level, with federal charges typically carrying the most severe penalties.
Federal computer crimes are prosecuted under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) and can result in sentences of up to 10 years or more in federal prison, depending on the nature and severity of the alleged offense. State-level charges in Michigan can also lead to significant prison sentences and criminal penalties that will follow you for life.
Defending computer crimes requires not only legal expertise but also a deep understanding of technology, digital forensics, and the investigative techniques used by law enforcement. Our firm combines decades of criminal defense experience with the knowledge necessary to challenge the prosecution’s digital evidence and methodology.

We work with leading digital forensics experts who can independently analyze computer evidence, identify procedural errors, and provide expert testimony that challenges the prosecution’s technical claims. We also explore potential defenses such as lack of knowledge, authorization disputes, and violations of your constitutional rights during the investigation.
