Charged with a Sex Crime in Central Valley, CA?
If you are charged with a sex crime, the attorney you choose may be the most important decision you ever make.
A conviction for a sex crime may result in severe penalties that may include a lengthy prison sentence, mandatory sex offender registration and court ordered in-patient or out-patient counseling services.
Sex crimes cases are unlike any other criminal charge. Due to the public’s revulsion of such crimes, sex crimes are explosive by their very nature. The presumption of innocence that is guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution can be put to the test in these cases.
If you have been charged with a sex crime, you need an attorney who is an experienced negotiator and trial lawyer. If your case is not dismissed or resolved by a plea agreement, you need an attorney who is unflinching, an attorney who will provide a vigorous defense on your behalf.
