Understanding Your Case And Building Your Defense
Charges of online solicitation of a minor often result from entrapment-type situations in which police officers pose as a minor in a chat room or place phony ads in Internet websites such as Craigslist. The person who is charged with a crime may have thought that he was communicating with an adult who was engaging in sexual role playing or may not have even intended to have sex with the other party.
Regardless of the circumstances of your case, you should politely refuse to discuss the charges with police. Nothing that you say will help your case and it could give police the evidence they need to charge you with a crime.
Our lawyers will examine all evidence the police have, including transcripts of chat room conversations and forensic evidence from your computer. We will take a proactive approach that forces the prosecution to show us how it intends to convict you of a crime. Then we create a strong defense that counters the state's evidence.
In addition to meeting the legal challenges of your case, our attorneys will work to protect your family and your privacy to the greatest extent possible.
