Where most people blunder right off the bat is taking a hostile posture towards the prosecutors, US Attorney, AG, or whoever it is coming after you.
Deal with them respectfully, professionally, and with extreme deference and in many cases you can work deals to get yourself out of it without much hassle or legal expense.
I had an obscenity situation years ago when the phone sex industry started and we were one of the largest and most visible players. At the time there were no applicable statutes yet written pertaining to telephonically distributed pornography so there wasn't much guidance for the first companies to go by.
Anyway a state AG set his sights on us and we dealt with it head on, but in a very tactical manner, and we ended up getting out of it completely with minimal legal costs, and no hassles thereafter.
When you go in with boxing gloves on you're going to get a fight and most times its not a pretty picture when its over. Go in and negotiate a deal with your mind and words and you can get a win-win for both sides and walk away with your money intact and nothing on your record.

This is great advice. People should learn from it. I promise you more people have gotten themselves into trouble from having a chip on their shoulder then for their pornographic exploits.
Same goes for dealing with cops....
