Child Abuse and Molestation
CHILD ABUSE / MOLESTATION (Penal Code 270, Penal Code 273a, PC 11165.1)
Child abuse/ molestation is one of several serious sex crimes that carry with it not only significant jail time, but also licensing and registration requirements that can last a lifetime.
Molestation of a minor is one type of violent criminal offense successfully handled by the firm over the last 35 years. Others in this category that we have successfully defended include arson, assault with a deadly weapon, date rape, domestic violence, gang related assaults, vehicular hit & run, home invasion, kidnapping, manslaughter, murder, rape and sexual assault.
When charged with this crime, immediate and confidential expert legal advice is critical. You may become a pariah to your family, friends and co-workers, and you need the best legal advice possible. Gary Pohlson has obtained defense jury verdicts for clients faced with these charges, and he understands that grief and emotional toll these case wreak.

Gary Pohlson is one of the most experienced and respected criminal defense attorneys in Southern California. A former deputy district attorney/ prosecutor in Orange County, he was selected by a panel of judges many years ago as one of only a handful of defense lawyers in the County authorized to handle conflict appointments for capital murder cases.
He has tried death penalty cases, 1st & 2nd degree murder cases, negligent homicide, manslaughter, robbery, rape, embezzlement, child molestation, drug dealing and a host of other serious felony cases. He has tried hundreds of misdemeanors, or less serious criminal offenses, such as domestic violence and driving under the influence, and fights as hard on the ‘lesser’ offenses as he does on those charges carrying substantial prison time. His integrity and unwavering dedication to his clients has been the cornerstone of his reputation among judges and prosecutors alike, and many of his trials have been chronicled in movies and books over the years.
