Criminal Defense

Sex Offenses

Confidential, aggressive defense when your freedom and name are on the line.

§ 01Overview

Few charges carry heavier consequences or greater stigma than a sex offense. Beyond prison, a conviction can mean lifetime registration, intensive supervision, and permanent damage to your reputation — often based on a single accusation with little physical evidence.

These cases demand meticulous, discreet defense. We investigate the accuser’s account, the circumstances of the report, and any forensic evidence, and we protect your rights through an emotionally charged process where the presumption of innocence is too often forgotten.

§ 02What We Handle
  • Sexual assault allegations
  • Unlawful sexual contact
  • Internet-based solicitation offenses
  • Failure to register
  • False accusations in relationship disputes
  • Sex-offender registration relief
§ 03What's at Stake

Prison

Many sex offenses carry indeterminate sentences with lengthy prison exposure.

Registration

Convictions can require sex-offender registration, sometimes for life.

Supervision

Intensive supervised probation imposes strict, lasting restrictions.

Reputation

The accusation alone can devastate your career and relationships.

§ 04Our Defense

We conduct a thorough independent investigation — examining timelines, communications, and forensic evidence — and consult experts to challenge the reliability of the allegations and any DNA or medical findings.

We handle these matters with complete discretion, and where the evidence is weak or the accusation is false, we fight for dismissal, acquittal, or a resolution that avoids registration.

§ 05Questions

Yes — many cases rest on testimony alone, which is why aggressive investigation and cross-examination are essential to expose inconsistencies and motive.

Registration depends on the specific offense and outcome. A central goal of the defense is to avoid any resolution that triggers registration.

Yes. We understand the stakes to your privacy and reputation and handle every aspect of the case with discretion.
