Daytona Beach Child Pornography Defense Attorney
Serious Crime, Devastating Penalties
Child pornography can basically be defined as possessing photographs, video or other medium that contains minor children (under 18 years of age) being shown nude, engaged in sexual activities or any sexually explicit materials.
It is illegal in our state, and our country for that matter, to possess, distribute, sell, produce, solicit or promote child pornography and those who are charged and consequently convicted will generally face extremely devastating penalties such as:
- Long-term incarceration
- Extremely severe fines
- Criminal record, most likely not eligible in the future for expungement, which means your arrest, charges and conviction will forever be accessible by anyone who conducts a simple background check for employment, housing or other opportunities that arise in the future.
- A lifetime of being ordered to register as a sex offender
Given the severity of the penalties that could be assessed, if you or someone you know has recently been arrested, or is under investigation for child pornography it is crucial that you immediately exercise your rights to remain silent and hire a highly qualified Daytona Beach criminal defense lawyer with extensive experienced defending clients facing similar charges. You will likely be pressed for answers to questions and you will fare better if you politely decline to answer them without having your attorney present.

What Are the Differences Between a Misdemeanor and a Felony?Generally, misdemeanors are considered minor offenses. The fines for them will be relatively small and any time spent in jail will be in terms of weeks or months, not years. A felony conviction can result in steep fines, probation, parole and prison sentences for years. They can remain on your permanent record and may adversely affect future educational and employment opportunities. With the assistance of an attorney who is willing to aggressively defend your rights, felony charges can sometimes be reduced to misdemeanors.
-
What Happens Now That I’ve Been Charged With an Offense?The first step will be what is known as an arraignment. A judge will tell you the charges against you and there are many decisions that will need to be made at this time, such as how you will plea to the charges, what bail will be set at and others. We understand that facing criminal charges can be tough and would like you to take advantage of our experience to help you successfully navigate through the criminal justice system.
-
What Is the Difference Between Contested and Uncontested Divorce?There are two types of divorce in Daytona Beach: contested and uncontested divorce. An uncontested divorce is typically preferred because they can usually be completed with far less hassle and in far less time. However, to go through the uncontested divorce process, the couple must reach an agreement on all significant divorce-related issues. These issues include: • Property division • Debt allocation • Alimony • Child support • Child custody • Visitation When there is disagreement over one or more of these issues, the couple will need to go through the contested divorce process. In such cases, the couple will either need to hire a divorce mediator to help them through the negotiation process or have the family court decide for them.
