Protecting Your Rights in the Digital Age
As technology evolves, so does the law — and Louisiana prosecutors are taking an increasingly aggressive stance toward cyber and computer-related offenses. Accusations involving online activity, digital data, or electronic devices can lead to state or federal prosecution. These cases are highly technical, complex, and can result in severe penalties including fines, imprisonment, and long-term damage to your reputation.
At Bloom Legal Network, we are a full-service firm that handles complex cyber crime matters directly. When a case requires additional technical or specialized support, we bring in trusted attorneys from our network — and we continue managing and leading the defense strategy every step of the way. We assist clients throughout New Orleans, Metairie, Jefferson Parish, St. Charles Parish, St. Tammany Parish, and surrounding areas.
Types of Cyber Crime Cases We Handle
Bloom Legal Network represents clients facing a broad range of cyber and computer-related accusations, including:
- Online fraud, wire fraud, and internet-based financial crimes
- Identity theft or unauthorized use of personal data
- Hacking, unauthorized access, or computer intrusion
- Phishing schemes and online scams
- Cyber stalking, harassment, or threats via social media
- Distribution of illegal digital content or child exploitation allegations
- Intellectual property theft or data breaches
- Computer tampering, data destruction, or ransomware offenses
Depending on the facts, these charges may be prosecuted in state or federal court. Because cyber cases often involve multiple agencies and overlapping jurisdictions, you need a legal team with full command of both systems.
The Consequences of a Cyber Crime Conviction
Cyber crime convictions can be devastating, especially when multiple charges or federal enhancements are involved. A conviction may lead to:
- Lengthy prison sentences, especially in federal cases
- Heavy fines and restitution
- A permanent criminal record affecting employment and licensure
- Restrictions on computer, internet, or device usage
- Revoked professional credentials or certifications
- Loss of privacy, financial stability, and personal reputation
These cases rely heavily on digital evidence, which is often fragile, misinterpreted, or improperly collected. As your legal team, Bloom Legal Network investigates every detail to ensure the evidence against you is accurate, lawful, and reliable.

- Challenging Digital Evidence: Examining how data was collected, stored, and analyzed to ensure constitutional compliance.
- Reviewing Warrants and Searches: Investigating whether law enforcement had valid authorization for device seizures or online-account access.

These defense strategies protect not only your legal rights but also your digital privacy, reputation, and future.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cyber Crimes Defense
1. What should I do if law enforcement contacts me about a cyber crime investigation?
Do not provide interviews, passwords, or access to your devices without speaking to an attorney first. Digital evidence is easily misinterpreted, and even innocent actions can appear suspicious when taken out of context. Bloom Legal Network can step in immediately to protect your rights, communicate with investigators on your behalf, and ensure you do not make statements or decisions that could harm your case.
2. Can deleted files or data be used as evidence against me?
Yes. Investigators often work with forensic experts who can recover deleted files from computers, phones, and cloud accounts. However, deleted data is not automatically accurate or admissible — digital recovery methods can be flawed, and improper handling can violate constitutional protections. Bloom Legal Network carefully examines how the evidence was obtained, preserved, and analyzed, and challenges any irregularities that could undermine the prosecution’s case.
3. Are cyber crimes prosecuted at the state or federal level in Louisiana?
Cyber crimes may be prosecuted in state court, federal court, or both, depending on the nature and scope of the allegations. Offenses involving wire fraud, interstate activity, hacking across state lines, or certain types of digital exploitation often fall under federal jurisdiction. Bloom Legal Network has experience defending clients in both systems and will determine where your case is likely to proceed and which defense strategies will be most effective.
