Accusations of sex crimes are some of the most serious and reputation-damaging charges a person can face. Crimes of a sexual nature can not only expose you to a lengthy prison sentence, but they could also require you to register as a sex offender for the rest of your life. Sex offender registration can permanently tarnish your name and greatly limit your options for employment – even after you have served your sentence. If you are facing charges for any type of sex crime, our firm can protect you against these consequences and create a custom-tailored defense on your behalf.
