BUILD A DEFENSE BEFORE YOUR CASE BEGINS

Have you been accused or charged with a sex crime?

You need to protect your rights from the first glance of an accusation. Our lawyers can create a strong thorough defense which should begin before you are charged.

Though as a society we are all supposed to be innocent until proven guilty, the stigma of merely standing accused of a sex crime can damage your personal and professional life. If you find yourself being accused, you need an attorney with the experience to deal with not only the charges but all other resulting consequences which often alienates the client from family and friends and professional relationships.

Success in defending these types of cases does not begin in the courtroom. As the accused, your reputation, career and relationship status could suffer before you are arrested. The law on sex offenses is a unlike other crime. You will likely be required to register as a sex offender. This could result in a public record of your name and address. In addition, an annual registration at the local police department where you reside may be mandatory. Those convicted of sex crimes may also be subjected to a lengthy term of incarceration, or a long probationary sentence with imposed conditions that may also be crucial to your future.

It is therefore important that you avoid any and all unnecessary hardships as a result of prosecution by picking the right attorney.
