Denver, Colorado Identity Theft Lawyers
With the advent of the internet, online banking and shopping is now an everyday reality. As a result, state and federal investigators have increased efforts to uncover identity theft and credit card fraud. In the process, however, over-zealous prosecutors often attempt to pin multiple instances of credit card fraud on the accused, even when there is very little evidence supporting multiple charges. At the law office of Elkus & Sisson, our attorneys work with our own investigators, forensic accountants, and computer experts in evaluating and challenging the prosecution’s evidence against our client. We remind jurors that even if fraudulent purchases were made on your computer account it doesn’t mean that you were at the keyboard or even that the purchases originated from your computer.
Before you agree to talk to investigators or prosecutors, contact the criminal defense attorneys at the law office of Elkus & Sisson today for a free, confidential consultation.

Challenging the Prosecution’s Assumptions
In today’s global village, hackers and other criminals can use a network of computers to commit crime. Whether they’re using “zombies,” a Trojan horse virus, or phishing e-mails, experienced criminals can use your computer to commit credit card fraud without you even realizing it. Likewise, mail from fraudulent purchases may be diverted to a post office box taken out in your name.
In cases involving in-store purchases, prosecutors may use security camera footage to implicate a suspect. However, most security camera footage is grainy and of poor quality. Additionally, prosecutors may use video footage of the one available instance allegedly showing a suspect using a stolen credit card to blame other fraudulent purchases on him or her.
