Possession of Child Pornography

Pennsylvania Lawyers Helping Clients Charged with Possession of Child Pornography

Individuals who have been charged with possession of child pornography need to obtain the services of an experienced, skilled and knowledgeable lawyer. This type of case is often more complex, the sentencing is usually more severe and most prosecutors are not inclined to negotiate. In addition, a conviction for possession of child pornography can result in a lengthy prison sentence, large fines, a permanently destroyed reputation and a lifetime on a sex offender registry.

At Laguna Reyes Maloney, LLP, we are skilled at handling these charges and we know that there is often more to the story in this type of case. If you have been charged with possession of child pornography, contact our office immediately to schedule a free initial consultation with a skilled criminal defense attorney who can advise you of your legal options.

Serious Charges and Serious Consequences

A charge of possession of child pornography is the equivalent of being branded with a scarlet letter in our society. It can impact your job, your marriage and your community standing. This is precisely why it is so important to find the right criminal lawyer to represent you; someone who has handled these types of cases before and who knows how to thoroughly investigate the circumstances.

For instance, if the child pornography was found on your work computer, we can show how your workstation could be accessed by others, was part of a large server, automatically downloads specific programs or picked up the images through another means. Alternatively, if these images were found on your home computer, we can show how you unwittingly downloaded a malicious program or that your computer could have been accessed by others. No matter the situation, our lawyers work with experts who can inspect your hard drives to uncover how this illegal material ended up on your computer.

Our Approach

Our goal is to always stay ahead in terms of new technology and new methods of explaining how material may have landed on your hard drive. This is important because every image usually results in a separate criminal felony charge.

We also know how to negotiate with the prosecution regarding a potential reduction in charges, and petition the court for concurrent instead of consecutive sentences. Our significant experience in this area strongly benefits our clients.

A charge of possession of child pornography requires detailed investigation and aggressive advocacy both in and out of court. Contact our Harrisburg Lawyers today to schedule a free initial consultation to learn more about how we can help you.
