At times it is difficult to accept that innocent people are in fact wrongfully charged and convicted of crimes--all the more so when those crimes involve child pornography offenses, particularly production of child pornography. An individual facing these charges can’t help but feel as though their presumption of innocence is compromised due to the nature of the crime. Yet one of the most tragic acts a nation can commit is to punish an innocent person. The notion of presumed innocence until proven otherwise is the foundation upon which the legal system of the United States of America is based. To uphold that noble and correct tenet is the duty of a criminal defense lawyer, by representing individuals accused of a crime--any crime. For these reasons the lawyers of Ian N. Friedman & Associates, L.L.C., believe that zealous representation should be afforded to all defendants regardless of the charges.
The fact that our firm has been questioned for representing individuals who have simply been charged with child pornography-based offenses serves to validate the argument that the mere subject of these allegations fosters an atmosphere that is not conducive to a fair trial, and steals our commitment to seeing that our client’s rights are protected.
This law firm handles a relatively large number of child pornography-based cases. All lawyers at Ian N. Friedman & Associates, L.L.C. are versed in all aspects of defending these cases. Working as a team we are able to exhaust all areas of defense, including pre-trial motion work, trial preparation, trial presentation, and appellate practice. As these cases require exceptional effort, we have dedicated an entire division of the law firm to this defense. We have been retained to serve as consultants, co-counsel, and lead counsel in child pornography prosecutions throughout the country. Our members are published authors that lecture on child pornography case defense.
In essence, a client’s life is on the line when charged with a crime related to possession, receipt, distribution, or production of child pornography. This law firm will always be prepared to represent these individuals to the fullest extent of the law.
