Sex Crimes
An accusation of sex crimes, such as rape, sexual abuse, indecent exposure, or forcible touching, can destroy your life. A conviction will result in months or years of jail time, years of mandated counseling and programs, and worst of all, a lifelong placement on the Sex Offender Registry. Society casts a stigma on people accused of sex crimes, even before they are convicted - being charged with a sex crime can cause your friends and family to stop seeing you and destroy your reputation.
Cases have to be handled thoroughly and carefully - facts are often unclear, victims are very sympathetic to judges and juries, and many people have been convicted on a “he-said-she-said” basis. Our attorneys work to give you the best representation on every facet of the case, from accusations of witnesses to the police, DNA evidence and contradictory eyewitness testimony. It is important to get a lawyer who can control the case as early as possible - before the case spirals out of control.
