Minimizing the Effect of Child Porn Charges

Blog, Domestic Violence

In the age of technology, it is easier than ever to find the information we want or need. Although this can be beneficial for work and play, it can also be dangerous. With a little bit of searching, almost anyone can find child pornography. Just clicking on an inappropriate picture traces it to your computer, and there are also a number of viruses which automatically download porn to your computer.

The same ease that allows people to find pornography is the same lead authorities have when they are looking for criminals. Some people are slapped with charges after the police search their computer, while other people are lured in by officers pretending to be young children. Regardless of the bait you followed, if you are facing charges for possession of child pornography, it is important to find a lawyer who can give you the aggressive defense you need.

Damage Control in Child Pornography Cases

When I work with clients who are facing charges for child pornography, damage control is one of my first obligations. I get clients into counseling programs to show the court you are taking affirmative steps to turn your life around. If your computer was exposed to spam or viruses, I may be able to show you did not know about the porn or did not download it intentionally. I work hard to mitigate the charges and the impact it will have on your life.

A Strong Defense for College Student Crimes

Blog, Criminal Defense

College is a stressful time for many people. Students are worried about getting good grades so they can get into graduate school or land the most coveted positions. Many students adopt a “work hard, play hard” mentality. After studying hard all week, students are ready to blow off some steam on the weekends.

Unfortunately, if you get caught drinking and driving or using illegal drugs, everything you have worked for is at stake. If you are a college student who is facing criminal charges, it is important to contact an experienced lawyer to protect your freedom, criminal record and future.

Criminal Charges College Students Face

If you are arrested for criminal activity, you may be worried about the impact the charges will have on the rest of your life. Some students worry about losing their scholarships, becoming ineligible to play at sports or how a criminal record will look on their resume. I defend college students who are facing charges for crimes, including:

  • Drunk driving (DUI)
  • Drug possession
  • Car accidents and leaving the scene of an accident
  • Theft and shoplifting
  • Destruction of property

Many college students are able to apply for a youthful offender status. If this is granted, the court record is sealed, and you can truthfully state that you have not been arrested. Protect your future by contacting a lawyer who will fight aggressively defend your college student crime.

Defending People Against Drug Charges for Over Two Decades

Blog, Criminal Defense

A charge for drug possession or trafficking can be a serious misdemeanor or even felony. For more than 20 years, I have represented individuals facing all types of drug charges, from possession to unlawful distribution, trafficking and manufacturing.

I work diligently toward the best possible solution for each client. If you are facing charges concerning marijuana, crack cocaine or crystal meth, you need an experienced lawyer on your side.

Competent and Understanding Legal Representation

I have handled many types of cases over the years, involving a variety of drug-related charges. I understand the difficulties confronting each client and I offer advice in each step of the process.

Even when it appears the case against you is solid, you still have a chance to work out a plea or get your charges dropped entirely. You have several options at your disposal, and I will employ every tool that I have as an advocate to get the best results possible in your case.

Alternative Options for Disposition

Alabama offers conditional alternative sentencing in some cases. In these cases, my clients have two years to complete a treatment program, after which their cases are dismissed. Individuals entering this program must complete treatment or be subject to a sentence of two years in prison.

I understand your options for alternative sentencing and I can recommend a treatment system for you. Your very freedom is at stake; I work with every client to ensure they receive the best chance for living productively as possible.
