Technology has transformed the way crimes are investigated and prosecuted. Allegations involving computers, mobile devices, online accounts, or digital communications often involve complex forensic evidence and can lead to serious state or federal criminal charges.

At Adrogué Law Firm, PLLC, we represent individuals accused of computer and cyber crimes throughout Houston and the surrounding communities. We understand the technical and legal complexities these cases present and work diligently to protect your rights, challenge digital evidence, and build a defense tailored to your case.

Computer and Cyber Crime Cases We Handle

A Thorough Approach to Digital Evidence

Computer crime cases often depend on highly technical evidence. Digital files, emails, text messages, IP addresses, cloud storage, and electronic devices may all become part of the investigation.

Our attorneys carefully examine:

  • Computer forensic procedures
  • Chain of custody
  • Electronic communications

  • Constitutional and privacy issues
  • The reliability and interpretation of digital evidence

We work with the goal of identifying weaknesses in the prosecution’s case while protecting your constitutional rights throughout the legal process.

We Address All Your Concerns

We are here to help. Our attorneys can answer your questions and offer straightforward guidance regarding your concerns.
What Is The Difference Between A State And A Federal Cybercrime Charge?

State charges are typically prosecuted under the Texas Penal Code and handled in Texas courts, while federal charges are prosecuted under statutes such as the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and handled in federal court. Federal cases often involve larger-scale allegations, multiple jurisdictions, or interstate activity, and generally carry more severe potential penalties and a different set of procedural rules than state cases.

Can The Police Search My Computer Or Phone Without A Warrant?

Generally, law enforcement needs a warrant supported by probable cause to search the contents of a computer, phone, or other electronic device, though certain exceptions can apply. If a warrant was missing, overly broad, or improperly executed, that may create grounds to challenge how digital evidence was obtained and whether it can be used against you.

How Is Digital Evidence Like Emails Or IP Addresses Used In These Cases?

Prosecutors often rely on digital forensic evidence such as emails, login records, IP addresses, metadata, and device activity logs to try to establish who accessed a system or account and when. This evidence can be technical and open to more than one interpretation, which is why a careful review of how it was collected, preserved, and analyzed is an important part of building a defense.

What Penalties Can A Computer Or Cyber Crime Conviction Carry?

Penalties vary widely depending on the specific charge, whether it is prosecuted at the state or federal level, the value or scope of the alleged harm, and the defendant’s prior record. Potential consequences can range from fines and probation to significant prison time, and a conviction can also carry long-term effects on employment and professional licensing, particularly in technology-related fields.

I Think I'm Under Investigation But Haven't Been Charged Yet. Should I Still Talk To A Lawyer?

Yes. Computer and cyber crime investigations often move slowly and involve subpoenas, forensic analysis, or contact from law enforcement before any charges are filed. Speaking with an attorney early can help protect your rights, guide how you respond to investigators, and in some cases influence whether charges are filed at all.
