Drawing on our experience defending clients accused of sex offenses, we understand the sensitive nature of these allegations and are committed to handling your case with the care it requires. Our defense may try to show the act involved consent rather than criminal behavior. We may also be able to challenge the prosecution by proving you were elsewhere at the time the offense was committed.

We represent clients charged with one of the following crimes:

  • Rape and sexual assault

  • Prostitution and solicitation

  • Statutory rape

  • Child molestation

  • Date rape

  • Indecent exposure and “sexting"

  • Internet sex crimes

In all cases, we will uphold your rights in the criminal justice system.

Experienced Litigator Understands the Severity of Your Situation

Depending on the offense, sex crime charges can range from misdemeanors to felonies. Regardless of the severity of the offense, however, a conviction will have serious and long-lasting consequences beyond your sentence. You may be placed on probation or incarcerated, where fellow convicts often treat sex offenders harshly. You may have to register as a sex offender, which can limit your job opportunities, destroy your social life and restrict where you can live. Our attorney has the experience and skill to provide a diligent defense no matter the sex crime charge you face.
