Computer & Internet Crimes Defense in South Florida
Under Investigation for an Internet or Computer Crime? Take It Seriously.
Computer and internet crime investigations can expose you to serious felony charges, incarceration, and consequences that can damage your career and reputation. These cases may involve allegations of unauthorized computer access, online fraud, identity theft, illegal use of personal information, or other criminal activity involving computers, phones, or online accounts.
But a device, account, IP address, or digital record does not necessarily tell the entire story. Attorneys Elena Blose and Alan Blose examine what the State claims happened, who actually had access, what the digital evidence proves, and whether prosecutors can connect you to the alleged criminal conduct.
When investigators are building a case from your digital activity, what they think the evidence means can be just as important as the evidence itself.

The Serious Consequences of Computer Crime Charges
What Happened Behind a Screen Can Put Your Freedom at Risk
A computer crime investigation can threaten your freedom, your career, and your reputation before you ever step inside a courtroom.
Florida computer crime charges can carry serious felony penalties. An allegation involving unauthorized access to a computer, phone, network, account, or electronic data can expose you to years in state prison, and the severity of the charge can increase depending on the alleged conduct, financial loss, information involved, and other circumstances.
The evidence can also become personal—fast. Your phone, computer, messages, emails, account activity, and other digital records may become part of a criminal investigation. Investigators may attempt to use that information to reconstruct what happened and connect you to the alleged offense.
But finding activity connected to your device or account does not automatically prove you committed a crime. AMB Law examines who had access, what the records actually establish, what you knew and intended, and whether the State can prove its allegations.
1
Understand the Allegation
We break down exactly what the State claims you did, when it allegedly happened, and what evidence prosecutors believe connects you to the activity.
2
Challenge the Digital Evidence
A phone, computer, account, or IP address does not automatically prove who was behind the screen. We examine whether the State can actually connect you to the alleged conduct.
3
Challenge Knowledge and Intent
Access alone does not necessarily prove criminal conduct. We examine what you knew, what you intended, who else had access, and the circumstances surrounding the alleged activity.
4
Build the Defense Around the Evidence
We scrutinize the State’s entire case for weaknesses, inconsistencies, credibility problems, and legal issues—then use what we find to pursue the strongest available strategy through negotiation, pretrial litigation, or trial.
Strategic Defense
Digital Evidence Can Look Damning. That Doesn't Mean It Tells the Whole Story.
A computer, phone, account, or online record may become evidence against you—but the State still has to prove what happened and who was responsible.
Computer crime cases can involve enormous amounts of digital evidence, including messages, account activity, electronic records, files, and information recovered from phones and computers. Prosecutors may use that evidence to build a timeline and connect you to alleged criminal activity.
AMB Law looks beyond the volume of digital evidence and focuses on what it actually proves. Who had access? Who controlled the account or device? What was authorized? What did you know? What was your intent? And can the State actually connect you to the alleged crime?
Elena Blose brings more than ten years of criminal defense experience to cases involving digital evidence, challenging the State’s assumptions and developing a defense strategy around the facts that actually matter.
Digital evidence can build a powerful accusation. It still has to prove the case.

Challenging Who Was Actually Responsible
A device, account, or online activity does not automatically identify the person behind it. We examine who had access, who controlled the account or device, and whether the State can actually connect you to the alleged conduct.
4
Protecting Your Career and Reputation
A computer crime conviction can create serious consequences beyond the courtroom, potentially affecting employment, professional licenses, security clearances, and your reputation. We fight to minimize those consequences while pursuing the strongest available resolution.
Do Not Try to Explain Your Way Out of an Investigation
When investigators contact you about activity involving a computer, phone, account, or workplace system, your first instinct may be to explain what happened. That conversation can create evidence the State may later use against you.
Even an innocent explanation can be misunderstood, taken out of context, or used to establish what you knew, what you had access to, and what actions you took. And once you make a statement, you cannot simply take it back.
If you are under investigation for a computer or internet crime, getting an attorney involved early gives you the opportunity to understand what you are facing before you make decisions that could affect your defense.
Do not help investigators build their case before you understand whether they are building it against you.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Florida Computer & Internet Crimes Defense
What does the State have to prove in a Florida computer crime case?
The answer depends on the specific charge, but computer crime cases often involve questions about who accessed a device, account, or system, whether that access was authorized, what the person knew, and what they intended to do.
Digital activity alone does not necessarily answer those questions. We examine what the electronic evidence actually proves, who had access, and whether the State can connect the alleged activity to you and establish every element of the charged offense.
Does an IP address prove that I was the person who committed the alleged offense?
Not necessarily. An IP address can connect online activity to a particular internet connection, but it does not automatically establish who was using that connection at the time. Multiple people and devices may share the same internet connection.
We examine the other evidence the State is relying on to determine whether prosecutors can actually connect the alleged online activity to you—not simply to an internet account or location associated with you.
How serious are computer crime charges in Florida?
Very serious. Many computer-related offenses in Florida can be charged as felonies, meaning a conviction can expose you to years in state prison, probation, and a permanent felony record.
The severity of the charge depends on what prosecutors claim actually happened. Allegations involving fraud, significant financial damage, interference with certain government or public systems, or conduct that puts human life at risk can result in substantially more serious felony charges.
If you are under investigation for a computer crime, do not assume that because no one was physically hurt or nothing was physically stolen that the case is minor. Conduct that happens entirely behind a computer screen can still expose you to serious felony charges and years of potential incarceration.
What should I do if police contact me about a computer or internet crime?
Do not assume you can clear things up simply by explaining your side of the story. What you say to investigators can become evidence and may be used to establish your knowledge, intent, access to an account or device, or involvement in the alleged activity.
Before answering questions or making statements about the investigation, speak with a criminal defense attorney so you understand what you are being investigated for and what may already be part of the State’s case.
Can my computer crime case be dismissed if police searched my devices without a warrant?
Possibly. Phones, computers, and other electronic devices can contain enormous amounts of private information, and law enforcement generally needs a warrant or a recognized legal exception before searching their contents.
We examine how your devices were seized, whether police had legal authority to search them, and whether investigators stayed within the permitted scope of the search. If digital evidence was obtained in violation of your constitutional rights, we can seek to have that evidence suppressed.
When critical digital evidence is excluded, it can significantly weaken the State’s case and, in some circumstances, create a path toward dismissal.
