Los Angeles Child Pornography Attorney

Criminal offenses related to child pornography are often highly complex due to the common involvement of the internet and computers. Evidence based upon internet activity or even online sting operations can bring up issues as to whether the defendant was actually the one that downloaded or distributed the material or if a hacker may have used the defendant’s computer. Sting or undercover operations, such as a law enforcement officer posing as a child online, may bring about questions of Constitutional rights violations.

As a Los Angeles sex crime attorney who has been working in this field since 1984, I understand the particular issues that are associated with child pornography charges, whether internet and computer-based or in material form. In my years as a criminal defense lawyer, I have seen the dramatic impact that sex crime allegations and charges can have upon a person, even the most upstanding and hardworking members of society. I am committed to providing the aggressive defense that each of my clients deserves – regardless of the nature of their charges.

Some Los Angeles attorneys do not take on child pornography cases because of the social stigma associated with these. I do not share this point of view. I believe that any defendant deserves legal representation, no matter the offense he or she has been accused of committing. I provide this defense for clients in state and federal court to seek an outcome that helps them avoid jail time, sex offender registration and other serious penalties.

Los Angeles Child Pornography Defense

A defendant in Los Angeles may face state or federal charges for child pornography, depending on whether the material crossed state lines. When the federal government is involved, the investigation will typically be more exhaustive due to the extensive resources and manpower federal agencies have to dedicate to these cases. Whether you are facing state or federal child pornography charges, I can help. I am familiar with and can provide hard-hitting defense counsel for both courses of legal action.
