Online Child Pornography

Illegal Possession and Distribution of Child Pornography

The government would like you to think that once they have seized your computer, the case is over and you might as well accept a plea offer. The truth is that computer crime cases are not so easy to prove.

There is a reason to fight child pornography charges. It is not always easy for the prosecution to get electronic evidence into court, especially if they are challenged by an experienced defense lawyer who understands how these cases work.

He will put this experience to work to fight for your rights against state and federal child pornography charges. To discuss your case in a completely confidential consultation, please contact our offices in Dallas, Texas, today.

What Does it Take to Win a Child Pornography Case?

In most child porn investigations, the government seizes every piece of evidence it can. The prosecutor will try to obtain records of every e-mail or IM you have sent or received. The FBI can also conduct a forensic analysis on your computer to determine when files were downloaded or uploaded and how many times they were opened and viewed. The prosecutor will likely subpoena your financial records.

Patrick McLain has the experience and proven skill to handle these complex and high-stakes federal cases. Success in a child pornography case often comes down to good lawyering — the ability to keep evidence vital to the prosecution's case out of court.
