Federal Identity Theft

The United States Attorney’s office for Maryland has been aggressively prosecuting identity theft. In federal court, this offense can carry a two-year mandatory minimum sentence. These are very serious charges and they need to be handled with special attention. That is why you need to hire an experienced Baltimore attorney for your federal identity theft defense. Like most areas of criminal defense, the early stages of an investigation are critical. Do not waste time, and do not make mistakes early in the case.

C. Justin Brown has handled numerous federal identity theft cases, at both the trial and appellate levels. He has also successfully handled identity theft charges at the State level.

In one recent identity theft case, in Baltimore County Circuit Court, the Firm, through on-the-scene investigation, was able to prove that the police had arrested and charged with wrong person with identity theft. Once the evidence was show to the prosecutor, the State dropped all charges against Brown’s client.
