Federal Felony Charges
Computer crimes involving the Internet are often federal felony charges. One of the most important things we do at Marcilliat & Mills PLLC as your criminal defense lawyer fights hard is to reduce your felony charges down to a misdemeanor and to keep state cases out of federal court where punishments can be much harsher.
Marcilliat & Mills PLLC has a successful record of helping people achieve the best possible outcome in the North Carolina criminal justice system and the federal system. When experience counts, don’t take chances. Whether you have already been charged with a computer crime or think you are under investigation, it is important to have an experienced lawyer on your side as soon as possible.
We represent clients charged with computer and Internet crimes such as:
- Website fraud
- Identity theft
- Federal Internet drug charges

- Illegal phishing
- Child pornography and other internet sex crimes
Contact us as soon as possible after you have been charged or think you may be under investigation. Computer crimes can be very sophisticated in nature and may require a detailed investigation in order to prove that your neighbor hacked into your wireless account to commit the crime, that the download of an illegal image or video was accidental, or to develop another defense strategy. The sooner you call our Raleigh criminal defense law firm, the sooner our lawyers can work to protect your rights and your future.
