In sex crimes, probably more than any other area of the law, representation by competent experienced counsel in the investigative stages and before the filing of criminal charges is critical.
Confessions or Admissions often provide damaging evidence and sex crime investigators are masters at tricking an unwary or unsophisticated person into admitting facts otherwise unprovable.
If you are visited by an FBI Agent, Secret Service Agent or U.S. Postal Agent seeking access to your computer, contact our firm immediately. Never voluntarily surrender your computer. Even if threatened with a search warrant, never surrender your computer unless there is a court order.
