Cyber Crimes

In Texas, what constitutes a cyber crime?

A cyber crime refers to most misdemeanor and felony criminal behavior conducted with use of a computer or the Internet. Typically, cyber offenses involve the stealing of private information, or stealing another person’s identity, as well as the selling or buying of illegal items online.

Cyber crimes are often federal offenses, meaning it is the U.S. government, rather than the state of Texas, who will technically bring forth the charges. Few criminal defense attorneys in Austin are licensed to practice both state and federal law — and Chris Perri is one of them.

You need a lawyer with the experience and credentials to successfully advocate for your freedom.
