Aggressive Legal Counsel When Facing Cyber Crime Charges in Charleston, SC

Computer / Cyber crime convictions carry serious consequences that can stigmatize you for the rest of your life. The Federal Government, the state of South Carolina and the military all have statutes on the books criminalizing computer / cyber crimes. Whether you are accused of child pornography, which carries mandatory minimum sentences in federal court, hacking, violations of the South Carolina Computer Crime Act (Section 16-16-20 of the South Carolina Code), using a computer to commit fraud or any other computer / cyber crime, and whether you are in federal, state, or military court or still under investigation, The Hanzel Law Firm can help. The outcome of your case often hinges on decisions made at the outset of the investigation. If you have been accused of a computer crime (or a related charge), it is imperative that you seek counsel and take a proactive approach to protecting your rights and interests. At The Hanzel Law Firm, we understand the tremendous gravity of these accusations and the concerns you face as you deal with the legal process.

Hear From Our Past Clients

    “This is the firm to choose to defend your clinical privileges and reputation”
    I became embroiled in a clinical adverse action with DHA and retained the Hanzel Law Firm to assist me in restoring my hard-earned reputation. Mike, Lauren, and Marshal all had involvement and provided excellent advice as well as were instrumental in dismantling the DHA case at the hearing and securing and restoring my medical privileges and reputation. Through the morass of a changing and unresponsive administrative environment from DHA, they were there for me all the way. In the increasingly hostile clinical arena of DHA, this is the firm to choose to defend your clinical privileges and reputation.
