Sex Crimes

Sex crime allegations carry some of the most severe consequences in the criminal justice system, including mandatory registration, lengthy prison sentences and permanent damage to your reputation and relationships. Even an accusation, before any conviction, can be devastating. A strong, immediate defense response is essential.

What you may be dealing with

You may be facing allegations that feel impossible to confront, dealing with the fear of public exposure or trying to understand what the investigation involves. Sex crime cases often hinge on credibility, digital evidence and the details of the alleged incident. These cases require careful, thorough and sensitive handling.
