Avoid Conviction

The justice system is handing down increasingly harsh sentences for sex offenses at every level. If you are convicted, prison is only the beginning. Sex offender registration lasts a lifetime. If you are labeled a “sexually dangerous person” you will serve a prison sentence and then can be indefinitely committed to a mental institution in certain jurisdictions.

At Denner Pellegrino, LLP, the goal is to prove innocence when possible, to seek treatment when appropriate, and to minimize punishment.

To accomplish these goals, the firm uses a variety of legal tools, including psychiatric evaluation and testimony. Our sex crimes defense lawyers work closely with forensic psychiatrists and psychologists to understand and communicate the intent and the capacity of the person charged with a sex crime, and to fully explore all mitigating circumstances.

Attorneys Jeffery Denner and Raipher Pellegrino have handled many high profile sex crimes cases for individuals with a well-founded psychiatric defense. They are among the foremost legal practitioners to effectively use this defense.

Trends in Sex Crimes Prosecution

Governments around the world are cracking down on trafficking of women for sex or servitude and trafficking of children. Internet advertising and mail order bride businesses are particularly susceptible to becoming targets of government prosecution as they move on anti-slavery and anti-peonage measures.

Distribution of images over the internet is a developing area of law — child pornography is most common but other images can also come under scrutiny. Courts are still unclear how to prosecute violations of local obscenity ordinances. It takes attorneys of the caliber seen at Denner Pellegrino, LLP to develop a legal case that may require novel legal arguments in the absence of precedent.

If the media have already begun covering a case, Denner Pellegrino, LLP attorneys are experienced in handling media matters and will strive to ensure that the client gets a fair trial while protecting the client's public image to the greatest degree possible.
