As Seen On
Identity Theft Defense Lawyers in Omaha
Identity theft involves using another person’s personal or financial information without permission, usually with the intent to commit fraud. These charges can range from minor misunderstandings to complex schemes, and Nebraska law treats them accordingly.
Identity theft charges can stem from:
- Making online purchases with someone else’s card
- Opening a loan or account in another person’s name
- Filing a false tax return
- Using someone else’s ID during a traffic stop
If you’re under investigation or have already been charged, talk to us before speaking with anyone else, including law enforcement.
Penalties for Nebraska Identity Theft
Under Nebraska Revised Statute § 28-639, identity theft may be classified as a misdemeanor or a felony depending on the dollar amount of the financial loss and the scope of the alleged offense.
If the value of the goods, services, or money obtained is less than $500, identity theft is typically charged as a Class I misdemeanor, which can carry up to one year in jail and a $1,000 fine. But if the amount exceeds $500, the charges can escalate quickly.
Courts often order restitution to compensate victims for financial loss, and individuals may be placed on probation with strict conditions. A conviction will also result in a permanent criminal record, which can severely affect your ability to get a job, secure housing, or access credit.

Defending Omaha Identity Theft Charges & Additional Allegations
In many cases, identity theft doesn’t stand alone. Prosecutors often bring additional charges that can significantly raise the stakes. These may include wire fraud, forgery, credit card fraud, computer crimes, or even conspiracy if multiple parties are involved.
Added charges often rely on overlapping evidence, such as financial records, digital communication, or surveillance footage. That’s why it’s critical to have a defense team that can manage the full scope of your case.
Our experience in complex white-collar and cybercrime cases gives us an edge when it comes to challenging the government’s narrative, negotiating reduced charges, or fighting for a dismissal when the facts don’t hold up.
