Seeking the best result for your unique case is our primary concern.

The vast reach of the internet means that white collar and computer crimes are all the more common. State and federal law enforcement agencies harshly prosecute those suspected of such crimes as fraud, forgery, and insider trading. Law enforcement is especially severe in prosecuting those they believe are involved in child pornography, and will use their endless resources in an attempt to convict. Many white collar crimes are federal offenses, and conviction can result in enormous fines and lengthy incarceration in a federal detention facility. If you are charged with such crimes as extortion, consumer fraud, or a RICO act violation, you must be confident that your attorney has the skills and experience needed to successfully fight your charges.

Are you charged with a sex crime?

An important area of our legal practice is the defense of sex crimes. A sex crime may include any type of criminal offense that is sexual in nature, involves forced sexual conduct or deviant sexual activity.

Instead of shying away from molestation, rape or pornography cases, we face these matters head on with the belief that every defendant deserves high-quality legal counsel. In the realm of sexual offenses in particular, false allegations run rampant. Our goal is to preserve each client's reputation and liberty in the face of false or unfounded accusations of sexual misconduct. Considering the dramatic, lasting impact that a conviction and sex offender registration will have on a defendant's life, we fight tirelessly for our clients in the face of these charges in the Los Angeles area.
