The firm’s criminal defense practice represents:

Clients charged with a full range of sex crimes in which children were the alleged victims, including: Child sexual assault, Child sexual abuse or molestation, Indecency with a child, Possession of child pornography (kiddie porn), Internet stalking or sexual solicitation of a minor.

UPDATE: As noted by commenters, there are some other questionable images. Here’s a few of them:

Gavel bang on those last three, commenters 17, 27, and 44.
