New York Online Solicitation Lawyer

With the expansion of the Internet as a primary means of communication, it has become far easier for police officers to monitor suspected sexual predators and entrap them by posing as a minor in a chat room or on social media sites like Facebook. However, it is illegal for law enforcement officials to set up fake chat rooms or usernames for the purpose of enticing adult users to engage in criminal activity.

If you or a loved one has been arrested for online solicitation or the online solicitation of a minor due to police entrapment, contact us at Goldberg & Allen for discreet, experienced and committed criminal defense. As former high-ranking public prosecutors, we know what police legally can and cannot do to enforce our laws, and leverage our experience to defend clients throughout the five boroughs of New York City.

Thorough Preparation and Proven High-Stakes Trial Experience

Sex crimes involving a minor are aggressively prosecuted in New York City, and the consequences you face are significantly higher than for cases involving adults. We understand the consequences you face and proactively investigate all the factors of your case to determine the best course of action.

Proving that you acted on alleged online solicitation is more difficult than prosecutors would have you believe. Our lawyers have extensive experience representing those accused of serious sex crimes, and use their in-depth knowledge of criminal law, DNA evidence and creative discovery techniques to defend your best interests.

When necessary, we enlist the aid of technical experts to build a strong defense against allegations of Internet solicitation, stalking, “sexting,” possession of child pornography and other serious charges.
