Computer & Internet Crime / Sex Crimes & Pornography Lawyers
M23law represents suspects and defendants on all types of sex, pornography, computer and internet crimes and allegations. We are experts in dealing with these sometimes delicate matters. Internet and Sexual offences cases require our specialist team to provide advice and assistance.
It is always preferable for anyone facing a police inquiry to
contact us at the earliest stage for the maximum effect. We
would recommend an initial Fixed Fee consultation with one of
our experienced advisors, when an assessment can be made and
plans discussed. We are also often instructed when the case has
progressed to a further police station or court stage. Suspects
and defendants have often been represented by the duty or local
solicitor before transferring to our firm.
Client confidentiality is paramount of course and there is
hardly any offence that we have not dealt with in many years of
acting in this specialist area of criminal law. Please note
that some other law firms may not wish to act in this sensitive
field but we represent on all Sexual, pornography and Internet
matters.
Following the initial consultation, we may put into
place or advise on certain strategies/options on behalf of our
client. This may be on a damage limitation basis (such as to
avoid a prison sentence) or a full scale Not Guilty campaign
depending on the client’s instructions. We are able to fully
represent at the investigation and court stages. This may
involve liaising with the police and other authorities on our
client’s behalf as necessary (always at the behest/instruction
of our client) during the currency of the case.
There are often evidential and interpretation issues that are
best left to our expert lawyers and specialists. Electronic
devices and computer equipment may need to be checked by our
team. We have links to therapeutic and psychological agencies
and we frequently use these contacts to greatly benefit the
client.
To assist our clients and with their consent, we frequently liaise and refer to the
Lucy Faithfull Foundation. We feel this also benefits society in general. We may also arrange for the partner of our client to be assisted and the family generally. On instructions, we often adopt a holistic and multi agency approach to obtain the best results for our clients.
An aspect that we advise on also is the Sex Offenders’ Register
and the implications of being placed in this category. Please
bear in mind that a police caution for a relevant offence is an
admission of guilt and the offender is registered as if it was a
conviction in a court.
On privately funded cases we travel all over England & Wales. An
example is where our Head of Criminal Law Andrew Parker acted
for a male client who had ongoing police inquiries in the
Midlands. Sexual Assault and Extreme Pornography alleged. We
managed to assist over a number of months in defending and
mitigating the damage; the client ultimately avoided a prison
sentence.
Our clients in this highly specialist area of law often need
our practical as well as legal support as the case progresses
through the Investigation or Court stages. We will be able to
give a comprehensive service on demand.
Our police station and court advocates are specially chosen,
with the representation tailored to the requirements of the
case. An example of the range of offences and conditions we
advise and assist on is below. Please do not be embarrassed to
contact us as our team is highly trained and experienced.
We have great experience in defending allegations or prosecutions brought under the Sexual Offences Act 2003 and The Protection of Children Act 1978.
Remember that we defend all over England and Wales.
