Fighting Identity Theft Charges
Identity theft charges typically involve allegations of stealing another person's credit card information, driver's license, Social Security number and other sensitive information to gain access to another person's accounts, or to establish new accounts in another person's name.
In handling identity theft defense cases, we conduct thorough investigations, including consulting with forensic experts who help us find facts that support our clients' cases. We work to identify errors in police procedure, to make sure our clients' constitutional rights have not been violated. If evidence was obtained from your computer without a valid search warrant, for instance, we may be able to suppress the evidence on which the charges are based. Attorney Eric M. Sears will work with you personally to help you understand your rights and options. He will aggressively fight for your rights to help you avoid the consequences of an identity theft conviction.
