Castle Rock Identity Theft Attorney

An identity theft attorney is important because the laws are always changing, with more offenses being added to the list, and the penalties are becoming stiffer. I understand how these types of cases are prosecuted, and I can protect your rights. The evidence in the case can be argued, the facts of the case can be misleading and the accusations can be completely wrong.
Identity theft is fraud. In Colorado, in most circumstances it is a Class 4 felony and carries serious penalties. Identity theft means that one person uses the identifying information of another person, without permission, for personal gain – such as buying something, applying for credit, or financial crimes. If you are suspected, being questioned, accused or arrested you will benefit from the advice of an identity theft attorney. A substantial list of crimes fall into this category:














To put it simply, posing as another person is a criminal act. It is the fastest growing crime in the United States, which is why state lawmakers are continually updating and expanding the law. If you have been accused, contact our offices as soon as you can to speak with a skilled identity theft attorney.

The goal of a defense of this type of crime is to prevent conviction on the charges, because under Colorado law, an Identity Theft Class 4 felony requires the court to sentence the offender to prison depending upon the circumstances of the crime. We believe that a vigorous defense may be able to reduce or avoid prison time. We never promise an outcome and your identity theft attorney will discuss your specific strategy based on the facts of your case.

• You should know that in the State of Colorado, if your case goes to trial, it can be held in any county in which the offense was committed, or in any county in which the victim lives.
  
  
• As your identity theft attorney, you will have the benefit of the fact that I spent 13 years prosecuting crimes, including three local counties, as a District Attorney. This gives me insight into how these cases are built and an understanding of the kinds of evidence usually associated with identity crimes.

One important factor in the investigation and in the defense is the method through which personal identity information was obtained. It can involve stolen wallets or mail, a computer breach, a scam or document theft (even if the paperwork had been thrown away). Regardless of the circumstance, an identity theft attorney is advised. You are subject to arrest and conviction if you used a person’s name, address, social security number, birth date, phone number, bank or credit card account numbers, passwords, pin numbers, and more.
