Being Tried in the Court of Public Opinion
We understand how humiliating it is to be arrested on sex crime charges. Neighbors and co-workers assume that "you did it," and you risk losing everything that's important to you: your job, your freedom and your reputation. If you are convicted, the court may order you to register with the Sex Offender Tracking Program at the California Department of Justice, a punishment which will follow you throughout your life, and make it difficult to find a new job or a new apartment. California's Megan's Law makes it possible for the general public to view personal information about registered sex offenders, including name, city, ZIP code and county.
Aggressive Defense Against Sex Crime Charges
We provide aggressive criminal defense against the following sex crimes charges, including:
- Statutory rape, including sexual assault
- Date rape
- Possession and distribution of child pornography
- Child molestation
- Indecent exposure
Call Us As Soon As Possible
We advise clients to schedule a free initial consultation as early in the process as possible, preferably before your arrest. This gives us an opportunity to review the facts of the case, and craft a solid child molestation, pornography or sexual assault defense strategy to help you fight the charges. We closely examine the facts of the case, determine how the evidence against you was gathered, and if the police followed appropriate procedure before, during and after your arrest.
Our goal is to move for reduced or dismissed charges, so that you can put this behind you as soon as possible. The sooner we begin our investigation, the more likely we can produce a positive outcome.
