Put a Former Prosecutor On Your Side
The Internet is an information superhighway that allows us to access and transmit media faster than ever before. However, because the Internet is highly unregulated, it has created a new avenue for individuals to share and distribute child pornography and other illegal content.
In response to this rising problem, law enforcement has stepped up its efforts to catch online predators. Common strategies include tracking online activity and files downloaded over programs such as LimeWire and Napster. Additionally, officers sometimes pose as minors in chat rooms in an attempt to catch unsuspecting persons engaged in sex chat with teenagers.
Often, you will not know that you are being investigated for an Internet sex crime until your computer is confiscated by police. You may not even be aware that you have illegal content on your computer and the charges may catch you by surprise. Even if you knew that there was illegal content on your computer, there may be defenses available to you.
Our firm's founding attorney Mark A. Hammer has been an attorney for more than 25 years. As a former prosecutor with experience on teams that specialize in the prosecution of sex crimes, Mr. Hammer understands how the prosecution puts together Internet sex crimes cases and the evidence it will use against you. He will use this knowledge to your advantage as he builds a strong defense on your behalf.
