San Diego Cyber Crime Lawyer
Cyber Crimes On The Rise
Internet crime is one of the fastest growing areas of criminal activity. It is estimated that 10 percent of all Internet-related crimes are committed in California. As quickly as technology changes, so do the laws. If you have been charged with any type of Internet crime, you need an experienced cyber crime attorney to turn to for advice.
The Internet has enhanced our lives by changing the way we work and communicate. What makes the Internet useful (the ability to communicate quickly with anyone in the world) has also opened the door to a tremendous amount of criminal activity. Web crimes continue to proliferate even as laws are put in place to protect victims.
Types of Internet Crimes
Most Internet crimes fall into two categories: financial-based and sex-based. Examples of financial crimes using the Internet include:
- Identity theft
- Fraud (credit card, banking)
- Illegally downloading music or videos
- Phishing
Being accused of an Internet sex crime is a serious matter. The specific penalties and consequences of a web sex crime conviction will vary depending on the nature of the offense. The most important step you can take to preserve your rights and protect your future is to contact a qualified Internet sex crimes attorney. Internet sex crimes fall into these categories:
- Downloading or possessing illegal sexual content or child pornography
- Sending explicit sexual content to others over the Internet
- Using the Internet to solicit sexual activity

Testimonials
- Isabella M."The best of the best. Period. I recently had the pleasure of hiring Michael Berg to handle a rather difficult case. Professional, prompt and thorough he is the best I have ever encountered."
- Christina D.Wow. When I first met you I was 20 years old and scared to death. A drug addict behind bars and pregnant isn't where I thought I'd ever end up. That was 8 years ago. You're an amazing person and an awesome attorney and I'm lucky to have had you defending me. What you were able to do for me was give me another chance at life. You helped me to work with the system. Looking back, I couldn't have done any of it without you. I always recommend you to all my friends. You are, by far, one of the best attorneys out there, and a great person too!
- Anthony P.Today's result was outstanding! Thank you for your fine work! I will certainly recommend you should the need arise.
- Abby R."I hired attorney Michael Berg for my attempted murder case, and let me tell you I don't regret a thing! Not only is he fantastic at what he does, he's honestly one of the humblest men I have ever met. His smile and energy is very contagious. I don't know where I'd be if I didn't find him. He helped me get my case dismissed! I suppose you could call him a miracle worker. He basically saved my life. I'm very young and this was my first time getting into trouble with the law. He helped me throughout the whole process and always had an answer to my questions. If you're in need of a criminal defense lawyer I assure you, he's the one. I guarantee you will not be disappointed in hiring him."
- Michael L."Michael Berg handled my case with competency, responsibility, honesty, and diligence.

I can not provide any better recommendation than Mr. Berg if you need an attorney in San Diego."
