If you have recently been accused of a computer sex crime, you understand that these charges are no laughing matter. Immediately, you begin to wonder what the future might hold and how you will be able to bounce back from this kind of accusation. Unfortunately, many people who fail to take proper legal action at once often never recover from an allegation such as this. To ensure that all of your rights are protected, be sure to speak with a seasoned Los Angeles computer crime defense attorney from Okabe & Haushalter.

Our team of lawyers have compiled a list of some of the most frequently asked questions that our clients bring to us.

When should I involve an attorney?

The moment you have been notified that you have charges against you is the moment you should consider hiring a defense lawyer. With cases such as internet sex crimes, a media outbreak may occur, which is why it is best to involve a lawyer as soon as possible. Your legal representation will be able to help minimize the damage this type of accusation does to your reputation.

What kinds of crimes do you defend?

Here at Okabe & Haushalter, we are a full service law firm that defends all types of criminal charges. Some of the internet offense cases that we take on include computer hacking, identity theft, federal computer crimes, internet fraud, phishing, stalking, chat room cases, date rape and internet sex crimes.

How can your firm help me?

At our office, we have years of experience as attorneys in the Los Angeles area. In fact, we have been recognized as Super Lawyers by Los Angeles Magazine for six consecutive years since 2005. We take pride in our ability to aggressively and persistently defend our clients, always aiming to achieve the greatest results. We will treat your case as much more than just a number; we understand that this is difficult and will do everything in our power to ensure that your case finds the tailor-made solution that it deserves.

Do I need a lawyer if I am innocent?

In most cases, we would argue that having an attorney on your case is even more important if you are innocent. As much as we would love to think that the criminal justice system will work itself out, this is not always true. In many cases, the prosecution will come after a defendant so aggressively that there is no hope for any person to be acquitted without legal representation. Call our firm immediately after you have been falsely accused of an offense.
