Assisting Clients with Grand Jury Investigations before an Indictment

Internet Crimes

They know, as we do, that manipulation and morphing of computer evidence by law enforcement investigators cannot be ruled out.

We have assisted clients in the following internet-related cases:
- Internet identity theft
- Sale of illegal products, such as illegal drugs

- Hacking allegations

Child Pornography
One of the fastest growing areas of prosecution in federal court, child pornography offenses often carry mandatory minimum prison sentences. If images were transmitted electronically to even one other person, federal prosecutors will threaten to charge you with child porn trafficking, which carries harsher sentences than child pornography possession.
