Millersville, MD Criminal & Sex-Crimes Defense Attorney — Fischer & Putzi Law Firm

Types of Cases We Handle in Millersville, MD

We represent clients charged with offenses including — but not limited to:

• Possession, distribution, or production of child pornography / CSAM (digital or physical media)
• Distribution or trafficking of illicit sexual content or exploitation material
• Sexual offenses involving minors — including solicitation, statutory offenses, exploitation, or online-based offenses
• Multi-count or complex indictments combining multiple charges (possession + distribution + solicitation + digital-communications, etc.)
• Technology-facilitated sex crimes, digital-evidence offenses, or misuse of electronic media
  

What’s at Stake — Consequences & Why Early Defense Matters

• Convictions for sex-crimes or CSAM offenses under Maryland law often carry severe penalties: felony-level charges, potential long prison sentences, mandatory sex-offender-registry or registration requirements, and serious long-term collateral consequences (housing, employment, civil rights, reputation, etc.).
• Cases involving digital or electronic evidence require careful scrutiny — including legality of searches, seizure protocols, chain of custody, forensic and metadata handling, and compliance with constitutional protections. Even small mistakes or procedural missteps by investigators or prosecutors can be critical to your defense.
• Because of the significant life-altering effects — criminal penalties plus registry and long-term consequences — early, experienced, and strategic legal representation can make a major difference in outcome and future protection.
  

How Fischer & Putzi Builds a Defense for Millersville Clients

When you retain our firm, we will:

1. Conduct a full forensic and procedural review — examine search warrants or seizure events, how digital devices/evidence was obtained and handled, chain-of-custody records, metadata integrity, and compliance with constitutional protections (search & seizure, privacy, due process).
2. Challenge improperly obtained or mishandled evidence — if there were defects, errors, or constitutional violations, we move to suppress or exclude flawed or unreliable evidence.
3. Tailor defense strategy to your circumstances — depending on the facts: negotiate reduced charges, explore plea agreements or alternative resolutions when appropriate, or prepare for full trial if needed.
4. Address collateral consequences and mitigation — including issues around registry requirements, employment, housing, privacy, and long-term reputation management.
5. Provide discreet, confidential, and strong legal representation — acknowledging the sensitivity of these matters and advocating for your rights, dignity, and future in a respectful, strategic manner.
