Sex Crimes Defense
The criminal justice system is handing down increasingly harsh sentences for sex offenses. 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; you can then be committed indefinitely to a mental institution in certain jurisdictions. The police are often determined to extract self-incriminating statements from suspects. The stakes are high; it is critical to have a defense lawyer who can counter law enforcement and prosecution strategies.
