Matthew Ruff is a TOP TIER criminal defense attorney with over 23 years experience defending good people charged with doing sometimes very embarrassing things. Among the many crimes he has handled are Internet offenses involving allegations of child pornography, revenge porn, sexual assault, rape and many other charges with phenomenal success.

Case of the month: Matthew was successful this week in keeping his client out of jail on Felony Possession of Child Pornography charges in Los Angeles Court. The District Attorney alleged his client possessed more than 6000 images and videos of illicit child content which exposed the client to over 7 years in State Prison. The DA was adamant that the client go to jail, however Matt was equally insistent that his client serve no time in custody given the fact he completed intensive rehabilitation and counseling and had no previous criminal record. Matthew won the fight! He obtained a NO JAIL probation sentence that would also allow the client to someday petition for a misdemeanor.

Why is Hiring an Attorney Early The Best Decision? In these cases detectives will typically try and get statements and interviews relating to the allegations. The investigators will be very aggressive and try creative ways to get the client to start talking and incriminating himself. Matt knows these tactics well and can act as a buffer to shield the police from harrassing the client to get incriminating admissions. Recently, Matt was hired to defend a client being investigated for PC 288 accusations in Gardena California. Matt was able to prevent interviews and attempts to acquire damaging statements and eventually the charges were all dropped.

There are many instances in which innocent people are wrongly accused of sex crimes such as prostitution, solicitation, or loitering for prostitution. Merely being in the wrong place at the wrong time has resulted in the arrests of many innocent people.

If you have been arrested for the crime of attempted Lewd act on a child (PC 288, 664)under the age of 14 based on Internet chat, you may be the victim of entrapment by law enforcement. Recently the authorities have been overzealous in luring persons into chatting and later contacting imaginary underage children who later turn out to be adult decoys. Our office believes many of these cases can be defended as entrapment.
