Wisconsin Child Pornography Defense Lawyers: Your Lifeline in a Legal Storm

So, you find yourself in a situation – where the unthinkable has happened. You‘ve been accused of a child pornography offense in Wisconsin. Your mind is racing, your heart is pounding – and you feel utterly lost. But, take a deep breath. You’re not alone in this battle.At Spodek Law Group, we understand the gravity of these charges, and the life-altering consequences they can bring. That’s why, our team of battle-tested Wisconsin child pornography defense lawyers are here – to be your lifeline, in this legal storm.

The Harsh Reality of Child Pornography Laws in Wisconsin

Let’s be blunt, Wisconsin doesn’t mess around when it comes to child pornography offenses. Under state law, even possessing or viewing a single image of child pornography is considered a Class D felony. And, that‘s just the tip of the iceberg.Depending on the specifics of your case, you could be facing:

• Up to 25 years in prison
• Fines of up to $100,000
• Mandatory registration as a sex offender

Not to mention, the lasting stigma and personal turmoil that comes with these charges. It’s a situation that demands an aggressive, no-holds-barred defense strategy. And that’s precisely what we deliver.

Our Approach: Meticulous, Uncompromising, Victorious

At Spodek Law Group, we don’t just “take” cases – we dissect them, from every conceivable angle. Our child pornography defense strategy is built on three pillars:

1. Meticulous Investigation: We leave no stones unturned in our pursuit of the truth. Our team of investigators will comb through every shred of evidence, every witness statement, and every legal nuance – to build an ironclad defense.
2. Aggressive Litigation: In the courtroom, we are relentless. Our attorneys are battle-hardened litigators, skilled in the art of cross-examination, and masters of persuasion. We will fight tooth and nail to protect your rights, and secure the best possible outcome.
3. Unwavering Support: We understand that facing child pornography charges is an incredibly difficult and emotional experience. That’s why, we are with you every step of the way, offering guidance, support, and a compassionate ear – whenever you need it.

It’s this comprehensive approach that has earned us a reputation as one of Wisconsin‘s premier child pornography defense firms.

Potential Defenses in Child Pornography Cases

While the charges may seem daunting, there are a number of potential defenses that our attorneys will explore, including:

• Lack of Knowledge or Intent: In many cases, individuals may have inadvertently accessed or downloaded child pornography without realizing it. Our attorneys will work to prove that you had no knowledge or intent to possess such material.
• Illegal Search and Seizure: Law enforcement must follow strict protocols when conducting searches and seizing evidence. If these protocols were violated, our attorneys will fight to have any illegally obtained evidence suppressed.
• Entrapment: In some cases, law enforcement may have induced or coerced an individual into committing a crime they would not have otherwise committed. If this can be proven, it could lead to a dismissal of charges.
• First Amendment Rights: While child pornography is not protected under the First Amendment, there are instances where the material in question may be considered artistic or educational in nature, and therefore protected.
• Mistaken Identity or False Accusations: Unfortunately, false accusations and cases of mistaken identity do occur. Our attorneys will thoroughly investigate the claims against you, and work to expose any falsehoods or inaccuracies.

These are just a few of the potential defenses we may employ. The key is to have a team of skilled attorneys who can identify the best strategy for your unique situation.

Just had my Divorce case settled 2 months ago after having a horrible experience with another firm. I couldn’t be happier with Claire Banks and Elizabeth Garvey with their outstanding professionalism in doing so with Spodek Law Group. Any time I needed questions answered they were always prompt in doing so with all my uncertainties after 30 yrs of marriage.I feel from the bottom of my heart you will NOT be disappointed with either one. Thanks a million.

Alex Zhik contacted me almost immediately when I reached out to Spodek for a consultation and was able to effectively communicate the path forward/consequences of my legal issue. I immediately agreed to hire Alex for his services and did not regret my choice. He was able to cover my case in court (with 1 day notice) and not only was he able to push my case down, he carefully negotiated a dismissal of the charge altogether. I highly recommend Spodek, and more specifically, Alex Zhik for all of your legal issues. Thanks guys!

I don’t know where to start, I can write a novel about this firm, but one thing I will say is that having my best interest was their main priority since the beginning of my case which was back in Winter 2019. Miss Claire Banks, one of the best Attorneys in the firm represented me very well and was very professional, respectful, and truthful. Not once did she leave me in the dark, in fact she presented all options and routes that could possibly be considered for my case and she reinsured me that no matter what I decided to do, her and the team will have my back and that’s exactly what happened. Not only will I be liberated from this case, also, I will enjoy my freedom and continue to be a mother to my first born son and will have no restrictions with accomplishing my goals in life. Now that’s what I call victory!! I thank the Lord, My mother, Claire, and the Spodek team for standing by me and fighting with me. Words can’t describe how grateful I am to have the opportunity to work with this team. I’m very satisfied, very pleased with their performance, their hard work, and their diligence. Thank you team!

I can't recommend Alex Zhik and Spodek Law Firm highly enough for their exceptional legal representation and personal mentorship. From the moment I engaged their services in October 2022, Alex took the time to understand my case thoroughly and provided guidance every step of the way. Alex's dedication to my case went above and beyond my expectations. His expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome were evident throughout the entire process. He took the time to mentor me, ensuring I understood the legal complexities involved to make informed decisions. Alex is the kind of guy you would want to have a beer with and has made a meaningful impact on me. I also want to acknowledge Todd Spodek, the leader of the firm, who played a crucial role in my case. His leadership and support bolstered the efforts of Alex, and his involvement highlighted the firm's commitment to excellence. Thanks to Alex Zhik and Todd Spodek, I achieved the outcome I desired, and I am incredibly grateful for their professionalism, expertise, and genuine care. If you're in need of legal representation, look no further than this outstanding team.
