If you are convicted of a sex crime — even a misdemeanor — it will change your life. Not only can it negatively impact your current job, it likely will hurt your long-term career opportunities, restrict where you can live, prevent you from participating in activities such as coaching youth sports and even severely limit your role as a parent.
The only effective way to prevent this from occurring is to avoid conviction. Given the stigma that is attached to the mere accusation of a sex crime, it is imperative that you work with an attorney who is capable of aggressively defending you against any charge. By capable, I mean a lawyer like myself, who has successfully defended individuals against a wide range of sex crime charges.
My experience prosecuting sex crime cases provides me with valuable insights into the strategies used to gain conviction. I anticipate the prosecution's approach and develop an effective counter strategy.
Sex Crimes Are Aggressively Prosecuted. You Need A Defense Lawyer Who Is Equally Assertive.
The penalties in sex crime cases are severe and prosecutors are aggressive. It is critical to enlist the services of an experienced sex crimes lawyer as soon as possible.
I have helped clients be found innocent at trial, gotten charges dismissed without a trial and convinced prosecutors to drastically reduce charges or not issue them. My successes have come in a wide range of sex crime cases, including:
- Internet or cybersex crimes include actions such as child enticement and Internet-based child pornography.
- Sexual assault involving a minor includes sexual contact, sexual intercourse or merely not preventing the sexual assault of a minor.
- Sexual assault due to lack of consent often involves intoxication, force or accidental contact.
- Rape frequently comes down to a he said/she said situation in which an experienced sex crimes attorney can build a strong defense.
Presumed Innocent In Theory But Not Always In Practice
In many ways, the stigma attached to merely being accused of a sex crime is a sentence in itself. You may be guilty of something, you may be guilty of nothing, but trust me, they will believe you're guilty of everything. This increases the importance of working with a lawyer who will be proactive in investigating your case.
Many criminal defense firms showcase their experienced attorneys only to pass a case to a junior attorney with little or no experience once you have signed on as a client. I am a solo practitioner, which means you are guaranteed of working directly with me from the initial consultation through the resolution of your case.
