Technology has created new opportunities, but also new risks. In today’s world, being accused of a cybercrime can jeopardize your freedom, career, and reputation. One Call Legal offers robust defense strategies for state and federal cybercrime charges in Miami.
Under investigation or charged with a cyber offense?
Computer Pornography and Solicitation
Florida law imposes harsh penalties for digital sex crimes involving minors. Section 827.071 criminalizes sexual performance by a child, including possession or transmission of illicit material. Section 847.0135 targets online predators, criminalizing luring or traveling to meet a minor for unlawful purposes.
Convictions can mean decades behind bars and lifelong sex offender registration. Our attorneys aggressively challenge illegal search warrants, sting operations, and overreaching prosecution strategies.
Defending Against the Full Spectrum of Cyber Offenses
Our Miami cyber crimes attorneys defend clients accused of a wide range of internet-related offenses. Common cyber charges include:
Florida prosecutes cyber crimes under Chapter 815 and other related statutes, while federal agencies like the FBI, ICE, and DOJ pursue high-stakes internet offenses across state lines.
Charged with a federal or state cyber offense?
Sexual Exploitation of Children
Any involvement in producing, coercing, or distributing sexually explicit visual depictions of minors violates § 2251 and carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years, potentially up to life imprisonment. Defending these charges requires swift action, challenging how evidence was collected, proving a lack of intent or misidentification, and fighting digital surveillance methods.
Charged under § 2251?
Activities Relating to Child Sexual Abuse Material
Section 2252 prohibits the transport, receipt, distribution, or possession of sexually explicit depictions of minors via interstate means, including the internet. Convictions carry severe federal penalties: mandatory minimums of 5 to 20 years, and up to 10 years for simple possession.
Whether you face charges for downloading, sharing, or even storing files, our federal criminal defense litigators will challenge prosecution theories of intent, device ownership, and chain of digital evidence.

Targeted Defense for Specific Cyber Crimes
Identity Theft
Identity theft occurs when someone uses another person’s personal information—such as Social Security numbers, credit card data, or banking credentials—without consent, typically for financial gain. In Florida, identity theft can lead to both state and federal charges, depending on how the data was obtained or used.
Penalties include prison time, fines, restitution, and permanent damage to one’s reputation. At One Call Legal, we analyze the chain of digital evidence and protect clients from false accusations or misattributed access.
Hacking & Unauthorized Access
Hacking involves gaining access to a computer or digital system without permission. This can include modifying code, extracting private data, or disrupting networks. Depending on the target, hacking may trigger federal wire fraud or cybersecurity charges.

We consult forensic experts and challenge how prosecutors trace IP addresses or device IDs.
If you’ve been accused of hacking, your next step is critical.

Often tied to minors, schools, or social media, these cases must be handled with care. False accusations, mistaken identity, and misinterpreted posts can quickly escalate into criminal charges.
Cyberstalking
Cyberstalking is defined as using the internet or electronic communication to harass, follow, or threaten someone over time. In Florida, stalking becomes a felony when it includes threats, restraining order violations, or targeting minors.
