WHY WILLIAM N. SOSIS IS THE ATTORNEY YOU NEED FOR INTERNET AND CYBERCRIME CASES

In today's hyperconnected world, legal issues involving the internet and digital technology are not only increasingly common—they are uniquely complex. Whether you're facing allegations of cybercrime, grappling with a data breach, or need guidance on digital evidence and online defamation, you need more than just a good lawyer. You need a digital expert—someone who understands the law and the technology behind it.

That’s where William N. Sosis, Esq., stands out.

A UNIQUE BLEND OF LEGAL EXPERTISE AND TECHNICAL MASTERY

Mr. Sosis brings to the courtroom what few attorneys can: a powerful combination of formal legal education and decades of professional experience in information technology, systems analysis, digital forensics, and cybersecurity. With a law degree from Western Michigan University Cooley Law School and advanced certifications in digital forensics from Carnegie Mellon's Software Engineering Institute, he’s more than fluent in the technical language that defines today’s digital legal landscape.

Before founding Sosis Law, LLC, Mr. Sosis spent over two decades working in highly technical roles for global organizations such as Unilever, Colgate-Palmolive, and Montefiore Medical Center. From SAP system integration and database architecture to cybersecurity strategy and digital evidence preservation, he mastered the tools and protocols that are now central to internet law and cybercrime litigation.

This technical pedigree gives him a strategic advantage in court—one that benefits clients facing charges or legal challenges involving:

- Unauthorized access to computer systems
- Online fraud or identity theft
- Cyberstalking and harassment
- Hacking and data breaches
- Cryptocurrency disputes
- E-discovery in divorce or business litigation
- Unauthorized use of digital assets
- Online defamation and privacy violations

CYBERCRIME DEFENSE BUILT ON TECHNICAL INSIGHT

Cybercrime cases don’t follow the rules of traditional criminal investigations. They involve logs instead of fingerprints, servers instead of street corners, and code instead of contraband. To defend a client in these cases, an attorney must not only understand criminal law but also be able to read between the lines of packet captures, metadata, and forensic imaging reports.

William N. Sosis, Esq., doesn’t rely on third-party experts to understand the evidence—he is the expert.

With a certification in digital forensics from Carnegie Mellon University’s Software Engineering Institute, Mr. Sosis knows exactly how to challenge the prosecution’s claims based on the technical merits of the case. He scrutinizes:

- Log files for evidence of IP spoofing, unauthorized access, or misattribution
- Metadata and time stamps for inconsistencies or signs of tampering
- Device chain-of-custody records to ensure evidence was lawfully obtained and preserved
- Digital footprints and browser history to refute claims of intent or access
- Network activity logs to demonstrate alternative explanations or lack of culpability

This hands-on technical analysis often reveals critical flaws in the prosecution’s case that a traditional attorney might overlook. In many situations, Mr. Sosis has shown that what appears to be incriminating activity was the result of automated processes, software errors, or unauthorized use by third parties—outcomes that make the difference between conviction and acquittal.

And because he can speak fluently with digital forensic experts, network engineers, and cybersecurity professionals, he’s able to cross-examine technical witnesses with authority and confidence. Judges and juries respect his clarity. Prosecutors respect his preparation.

Clients benefit from both.

FORENSIC ANALYSIS AND EVIDENCE HANDLING YOU CAN TRUST

In digital litigation, the truth often lies in the details—but only if the evidence is properly preserved, examined, and interpreted. Mishandled digital evidence can compromise an entire case. That’s why William N. Sosis treats digital forensics not as an afterthought, but as a core component of his legal strategy.

Mr. Sosis has delivered numerous seminars and continuing legal education (CLE) courses on topics like Authentication of Digital Evidence, Preserving Electronic Documents for eDiscovery, and Obtaining Information from Mobile Devices. His expertise isn't theoretical—it's battle-tested.

He understands how to:

- Secure digital devices in a way that maintains evidentiary integrity  
- Extract relevant data from hard drives, phones, tablets, and cloud storage  
- Recover deleted files that might hold exculpatory evidence  
- Use forensic software tools like ExifTool, FTK Imager, and disk imaging utilities to analyze evidence  
- Prepare expert-level forensic reports for presentation in court  
- Challenge the admissibility of improperly collected or altered digital evidence  

Whether in criminal defense or civil litigation, Mr. Sosis applies the same rigorous standards used by top cybersecurity professionals. His background as a systems analyst, SAP data architect, and process engineer gives him a granular understanding of how digital systems work—and where they can go wrong.

That matters. Because in digital cases, even a one-second discrepancy in a time stamp or a corrupted byte in a file can be the turning point.

Clients turn to Mr. Sosis because they know he will investigate every angle, pursue every lead, and never take digital evidence at face value. He knows how it works—and how it can fail.

William N. Sosis is not just a practitioner—he’s a thought leader in the intersection of law and technology.
