Aggressive Defense Against Unfounded Accusations, Incorrect Charges & Excessive Prosecution
Sex Crime Allegations Can Result In Lasting Stigma, Regardless Of Innocence
When you’re accused of a sex crime, the consequences can be severe and range from prison time and fines to loss of relationships, job, and housing. This holds true even if you are innocent and wrongly charged. Because of this, it is essential to have a skilled lawyer on your side, fighting for your rights and freedoms, and ensuring you are not charged for something you did not do.
One of the most important steps our attorneys will take is to create a strong defense for your case. This defense will work to prevent false accusations or avoid excessive prosecution. We start building a defense by conducting a thorough investigation of the circumstances. We look for inconsistencies and will collect all the evidence we can find to benefit your case. From there, we will challenge the opposing evidence and work to weaken the prosecution’s case. We will acquire the necessary expert testimony and will negotiate on your behalf for the best outcome wherever possible. Even if the accusation made against you is unfounded, the stigma associated with sex crimes can cause serious consequences in your life. We are committed to fighting against these accusations, doing everything in our power to dismantle the accusation to preserve your reputation.

Our legal professionals will make sure you understand the charges you are facing and will work on an aggressive defense. Whether you’re required to go to prison for 10, 24, 48, or more years, our lawyers will protect your rights and your freedoms through a defense and in-depth knowledge of the legal system.
Consequences Resulting From Conviction
Of Child Pornography Charges
Being charged with child pornography can have a serious impact on your life through the legal consequences, but also the stigma of such a charge. Child pornography will land you with a Class 2 felony that includes prison sentences from 10 years to a lifetime. Not only that, but you will be required to register as a sex offender for life and you will likely struggle to gain back the trust of your friends, family, employers, and more.
