Identity Theft

Internet Identity Theft

Modern technology threatens to turn everyone into a number - and increases the chances that someone's identity will be stolen. At the Davis Law Office in Louisville, Kentucky, we defend clients accused of identity theft.

As technology continues to take over every facet of life, the opportunity to illegally obtain that data grows. A simple swipe of a credit card can result in someone being able to access it. A pin number can get into the wrong hands through mail theft. Others take more creative steps by pretending to be someone else and getting account information from banks and other businesses. Taking on the identity of another person is becoming easier as more options are becoming available.

The cases that present the most challenges are not due to the complexity of the technology. Identity theft within a family is a sensitive issue and an issue we have dealt with at the Davis Law Office. A son who shares the name of his father could use his parent's good credit to secure a loan. A grandchild may steal the checks from his grandparent's account. Embarrassing legal matters such as these sometimes force families to keep the matter quiet. Others seek justice, even if the offender is a close family member.

With identity theft growing and becoming a high-profile crime, prosecutors are making examples of those accused of and convicted of such crimes. E. Brian Davis is a defense attorney who used to be a prosecutor and has considerable experience handling identity theft cases that will help you fight the charges. He also has a thorough knowledge of sentencing guidelines and can put that knowledge to use in seeking to mitigate or reduce your sentence when a conviction is unavoidable.
