Hire a highly experienced certified criminal trial lawyer

Criminal defense lawyer Jeff Mueller is one of only a handful of attorneys in Tennessee who is certified as a specialist both in criminal trial by the Tennessee Commission on C.L.E. and Specialization and in criminal law by the National Board of Trial Advocacy. He took the time to earn two certifications in criminal defense because he believes that everyone deserves a vigorous defense from a dedicated advocate.

We have the skill and experience to fight these charges aggressively. Our experience defending clients accused of sex crimes such as statutory rape, prostitution and sexual assault, combined with our knowledge of computer crime and access to experts, gives us the tools to go to battle against accusations of Internet sex crimes such as:

  • Online solicitation of prostitution
  • Online solicitation of a minor
  • Possession of child pornography
  • Distribution of child pornography
  • Child molestation or exploitation

Although law enforcement may have spent months or years investigating you, things move very quickly after an arrest is made. For example, the federal government takes these cases to trial within 90 days of an arrest. We will act quickly, investigating every possible avenue to build your defense.

Investigating critical evidence against you

Attorney Mueller will investigate whether your constitutional rights were violated at any point during the investigation. Many Internet sex crimes are discovered as a result of police "stings," and we will determine if entrapment was a factor in your arrest.

In some circumstances, we may consult with computer experts to nail down exactly what activity attracted the attention of the police or investigators. If you had done nothing suspicious but the police began monitoring your private activities, an illegal wiretap may have been involved.

We will also work to determine if someone else was using your computer and may be responsible for the crime. An Internet specialist can determine if someone hacked into your system, stole your password, or otherwise used your computer system to commit crimes without your knowledge.

If investigators obtained a search warrant and seized your computer files, we will determine if the warrant was obtained and served properly and whether the police acted strictly within the search warrant's terms.
