Federal Child Pornography Defense
As your attorney, I use my experience as a former federal prosecutor and current public defender to strategize a plan for reducing or eliminating charges and sentences. It is my goal to keep you from having to live through the difficultly of being labeled a sex offender.
A common federal case may involve charges of trading child pornography on file-sharing networks. It is possible that a person does not even know the images exist on their computer because of up-loading by file-sharing networks.
Another very common circumstance that I handle involves a defendant accused of trying to convince a minor to have online sex.
New Jersey Sexual Assault Defense
There are various degrees of sexual assault, or sexual molestation, which cover multiple crimes. These crimes can involve anything from touching and kissing to digital or vaginal penetration.
In New Jersey, the criminal statute refers to rape as sexual assault, with 1st degree assault involving vaginal penetration.
Rules are stricter and penalties are higher when the charges involve child molestation.
I have the experience to powerfully defend you against allegations or sexual assault. Together, we will work to have the charges dismissed or the charges and sentencing reduced.
