Sex Crimes

Lifelong sex offender registration is sometimes a more severe punishment than the fines or jail-time. A conviction can mean fewer job prospects, constant moves, and social scorn. That is why, if you have been accused of a sex crime, you need to understand all the risks involved before taking any action. If offered a plea, you should understand the ramifications of making the decision to accept it or turn it down. If you elect to go to trial, nothing is more important than having competent and effective representation.

Our attorneys have the knowledge and experience necessary to help you make these life-altering decisions. Our firm is discreet in its representation of clients in criminal matters, including:

• Possession of obscene matter
• Indecent exposure
• Lewd act in public place
• Solicitation of prostitution
• Sexual battery
• Molestation
• Forcible rape
• Statutory rape (consensual intercourse with someone under the age of 18)
• Obligation to register as a sex offender with the local police

We have represented clients in high profile, felony sex crime cases and are familiar with the range of legal resources available to you. A felony sex crime conviction is considered a three-strikes offense in California. A third strike can result in a state prison sentence of 25 years to life. The punishment you face may be affected by such factors as: prior convictions, violation of probation or parole, media attention to the case, or other aggravating circumstances.
