Identity Theft Attorney In Massachusetts

Identity theft is at an all time high. While measures to combat it are constantly improving, so are the methods to fabricating false ID's. Today's printers can print with amazing clarity, from a remote location, inexpensively. Other ways to assume someone else's ID have sprung up in the modern tech age as well. For example, you could sign up for Netflix using someone else's information. Guess what? ID theft. And it's a very serious offense to defraud a business or a private citizen. Falsifying documents regarding your identity for the purpose of monetary gain is almost guaranteed jail time.

Massachusetts law clearly defines what may constitute an identity fraud crime. If, with intent to defraud, you use or possess another individual's personal identifying information (PII) without his authorization for the purposes of obtaining anything valuable, you may be found guilty of identity crime. Additionally, the law also states that you may be found guilty of identity crime if you possess a person's PII for the purposes of harassing him or her.

If you violate this law, you may face a maximum prison sentence of up to two and a half years and/or a $5,000 fine. Massachusetts law states that law enforcement officials do not need a warrant to arrest you for identity crime if there is sufficient probable cause indicating that you may be an identity theft offender.

With all said possibilities looming when facing such accusations, it would behoove you to have a talented and competent Identity Theft Attorney on your side. Contact Massachusetts Criminal Defense Attorney Paul R. Moraski at (978) 744-1200 immediately for an advocate of your rights.

Massachusetts Armed Robbery Attorney

Armed Robbery is a very serious offense, that if you are convicted, carries with it a minimum of guaranteed jail time to a maximum of life in prison. How the law defines "armed" may surprise you.

When police question witnesses, they do so in a structured fashion that almost becomes suggestive. The fact is, they take dozens of witness statements and in the end they all begin to sound the same. What's more, in an effort to expedite the process and close the case, they may suggest that the alleged perpetrator had a weapon when in fact he didn't. Often times, the witness is so shaken up from the ordeal that the suggestion of a weapon from either the alleged criminal or the police officer both become reality--in the eyes of the law.

If you or someone you know is facing an armed robbery charge in the state of Massachusetts, do not underestimate the seriousness of what you are facing. Without competent counsel, the state could send you to prison as a result of a witness' version of the facts. This hardly sounds like "due process," but it is the unfortunate reality of the criminal courts.

The state will take advantage where they feel they can. Even the mere verbal suggestion of having a weapon in a robbery can be defined as armed robbery. Don't underestimate what lies ahead.
