Sex Charges

Skilled Defense Against Sex Crimes in Florida

Few criminal charges carry a worse social stigma than one of criminal sexual conduct. An accusation alone can ruin your reputation and destroy your family. And if you are found guilty, you will face a very long, mandatory prison sentence, and will have to register as a sex offender upon your release.

These cases must be aggressively and effectively defended.

If you or a loved one has been charged with a sex crime, it is crucial that you retain the services of a skilled and experienced defense attorney. I know what it takes to prepare the best possible defense to these charges. I will review all of the evidence and will interview and challenge the testimony of the alleged victim and other witnesses for the prosecution. If negotiation is the best option, I will work to negotiate the most favorable agreement. However, we will proceed to trial if it is likely to produce the best results. In some cases, it is even possible to avoid being designated a sexual offender or predator.

Criminal sexual misconduct charges include the following:

  • Sexual battery
  • Child molestation
  • Rape
  • Date rape
  • Statutory
  • Lewd or lascivious battery
  • Internet sex offenses
  • Lewd conduct
  • Possession of child pornography
  • Indecent exposure
  • Failure to register as a sex offender

You have rights under the law.

With a sexual misconduct charge, society unfortunately tends to view the accused person as "guilty until proven innocent".

This is contrary to your constitutional rights and it offends me. I will diligently protect all of your rights under the law in all cases involving accusations of criminal sexual conduct. I have a thorough knowledge of Florida law related to sex crimes, and will leverage my experience as a defense attorney and skilled trial lawyer to protect your rights and make the state prove you guilty beyond the shadow of a doubt.

You need the best attorney you can find.

If you have been charged with such a crime, a strong legal defense is very important to your chances of success. There's too much at stake to take chances, so contact me immediately.
