Internet Fraud Laws in Texas

January 18, 2011 By

Internet fraud is one of several types of internet crime that has grown steadily with the rapid improvement of technology, the increase of instantaneous communication over the web and the anonymity afforded by the use of false names and identities over the internet. If you have been charged with internet fraud or any other cyber-crime, the knowledge, skill and understanding of an experienced criminal defense lawyer, like the attorneys at Clancy & Clancy, can help you make your case and prove your innocence or successfully reduce or eliminate the jail time and fines that can be associated with a conviction.

What Is It?

There are many types of internet fraud: fraud in internet auctions, non-delivery of merchandise ordered over the internet, credit card fraud, investment fraud, and Nigerian or other foreign government scams. Federal and state authorities recognize that these types of crime are on the rise, and they are cracking down on violators. An experienced criminal defense lawyer knows that there are many opportunities and potential weaknesses in the prosecution’s case that can be used to win a not guilty verdict or to reduce or eliminate the jail time, fines and other consequences of internet fraud charges. But it takes the aggressive, innovative attitude of lawyers like those at Clancy & Clancy to formulate new defenses for rapidly developing areas of criminal law such as internet fraud. We will ask the questions that may not seem obvious, but which can open your case to serious negotiation, reduction and/or elimination of the charges.

Drug Laws in Texas

January 4, 2011 By

The manufacture, sale, trafficking and possession of drugs (including marijuana) in Texas is taken very seriously by both state and federal courts. The penalties can range from relatively small fines and counseling to years in prison and fines of thousands of dollars. In this situation, it takes the knowledge, skill and experience of a seasoned criminal defense lawyer to argue successfully to reduce or eliminate the charges and/or the penalties sought under Texas drug laws.

What Is It?

The type of drug – whether it is marijuana, cocaine/crack, meth, heroin or forged prescriptions for drugs like OxyContin, Oxycodone, Vicodin or Hydrocodone – and the amount of the controlled substance can greatly affect the severity of the penalties and punishments imposed. If the charges involve the use of some property of yours as an instrument in the commission of the crime, you could face the possibility of losing that property – your home, vehicles, boats or other property could be taken from you and never returned.

No matter how insignificant you think your charge is, state and federal courts in Texas are strict when it comes to enforcing drug laws, and even if this is your first charge, you could find yourself in jail. For more than 40 years, the criminal defense attorneys at the Law Office of Clancy & Clancy have been helping people in the Dallas – Fort Worth area, and their understanding of the prosecution’s tactics in drug cases has helped to keep their clients from suffering the most severe penalties.
