Phoenix Identity Theft Attorney

Federal Attorney for Identity Theft Charges in Arizona

Identity theft is a federal offense which is related to taking another person's identity, whether this is committed by physical theft or by deception. Eavesdropping or going through trash may be other ways of obtaining personal information. An "identity" may include such information as: social security number, driver's license number, credit card information, bank account information, mother's maiden name and any other sensitive information which may be used to unlawfully obtain that individual's money or to obtain loans or credit cards in that person's name. Identity theft may also be committed in an attempt to escape arrest or criminal charges.

Federal law enforcement agencies crack down hard upon those suspected of identity theft, and the penalties for a conviction of this kind are severe. It is important that you contact an attorney as soon as possible if you or someone you know has been implicated in a federal investigation regarding identity theft, if you have been contacted by federal agents, or if you have already been arrested. Early involvement is often crucial in these matters, as it can limit what evidence law enforcement is able to obtain against you, as well as acts which may result in unintentional self-incrimination - when a defendant was just trying to cooperate.
