Experienced Torrance Attorney for Child Pornography Charges

Understanding Child Pornography Laws in California

In the State of California, it is a crime to take part in child pornography acts. This includes producing and distributing, exploiting, hiring or recruiting minors, advertising, and even possessing pornographic content with/of a minor.

Importance of Hiring a Lawyer for Child Pornography Charges

If you are charged or simply being investigated for possessing child pornography the consequences can be drastic.  Your case can end up in federal court where significant mandatory sentencing laws will apply, or you may end up in state court where you will be forced to register as a sex offender for the rest of your life. It is extremely important to hire an attorney in these cases as you will need to fight hard to protect yourself and your record. Pat Carey can contact relevant authorities to (1) steer your case away from federal court and (2) prevent your case from being filed at all.

The stigma of a child pornography conviction will follow you for the rest of your life because of sex offender registration.  Act now and contact Pat Carey.

    "SO happy I found him."
    Found Pat to represent me on a case after I made a dumb mistake. I was completely clueless. Pat made is so much less stressful and most of all he negotiated a deal that ended up getting my case dismissed.
