WHEN YOU NEED A CHILD PORNOGRAPHY DEFENSE LAWYER
You need a child pornography defense lawyer when you are the subject of a child pornography investigation. Child pornography investigations often start like this:
The police show up at your home or business and execute a search warrant. They seize your computers, phones, hard drives and other electronics. You had no idea you were under investigation. You’re in shock. You’re scared. And, your family had no idea. Now you have to explain it to your wife. What do you do? It’s a nightmare.
