Facing a Computer Crime Charge in Michigan? Here's What You Need to Know

criminal defense attorney Ann Arbor

In today’s hyper-connected world, a single click or digital misstep can lead to serious criminal charges. The high-profile federal case against Matt Weiss—a former University of Michigan coach now facing nearly 25 computer crime charges—has cast a spotlight on the complexity and severity of digital offenses.

In Michigan, computer-related crimes are often classified as felonies or federal offenses, and consequences may include:

  • Long-term prison sentences
  • Deportation or immigration complications for non-citizens
  • Loss of firearm rights
  • Restricted internet and device usage
  • Travel limitations across state or national borders 

Defending against these charges requires more than just a standard legal approach. Our criminal defense attorneys in Ann Arbor build strong defenses using digital forensic experts, challenge questionable warrants, and scrutinize how evidence was gathered. We also stay on the cutting edge of issues like deepfake content and AI-generated data, which are becoming increasingly relevant in today’s digital crime cases.
