| Defending against charges of child pornography is completely different than defending against other types of sex crimes. In many cases, law enforcement officials have been investigating the charges and interviewing prospective witnesses for weeks or months before making an arrest. Many of these types of cases involve undercover sting operations, while others are reactive cases that involve law enforcement personnel stumbling upon child pornography while investigating other crimes. The defenses for these differing types of cases will vary tremendously, and you need experienced counsel to navigate these perilous waters. |

| Our firm is recognized as one of the preeminent criminal defense firms in Los Angeles. We understand the stigma that goes along with being accused of any crime, let alone a crime involving child pornography. Experience makes the difference when defending these types of crimes. James W. Spertus was one of the founding members of the computer crimes section of the United States Attorney's Office for the Central District of California, and he has specialized expertise in cases such as child pornography cases that often involve the use of computers. Our legal team includes attorneys who have successfully defended a significant number of computer-related crimes, such as Internet-related child pornography cases. Much of the evidence the prosecutor will use against you will likely come from your home computer. We know the strategies the prosecutors will use in these unique cases, and we are familiar with the weaknesses of those strategies. |

| A conviction for child pornography will result in required registration on the California sex offender registry. You must fight charges aggressively to prevent these registration requirements from affecting you. If you are under investigation for possession or distribution of child pornography, the prosecutor probably has a significant head start in the case. You need experienced legal defense immediately to level the playing field. Having image files of child pornography on your hard drive doesn't mean that you knowingly possessed that material. For child pornography charges, understanding computer forensics and the Internet is critical to a good defense. We have the experience and knowledge to defend these types of cases |

| If you have been convicted of child pornography and are currently required to register on California's sex offender registry, we may be able to help you change your registration requirements or remove your name from the registry. We also provide a full range of services for appeals and post-conviction relief. |
