Protecting Your Reputation From Damaging Charges
Child molestation is one of the few crimes in which you can be convicted based solely on the accusation of an alleged victim. Since the alleged victim is a child, that evidence can be easily tainted by people who are either poorly trained or have a reason to harm the accused.
If you are contacted by police concerning a sex crime, it's important to seek advice from an experienced defense attorney before you respond to the charges. Police are experienced at getting people to say things that can be harmful. For example, it's not unusual for police to claim to have evidence that they do not have. If you admit to key facts, even something innocuous such as being alone with the victim, you could give police the probable cause they need to make an arrest.
Our lawyers will take a proactive approach to your defense, requesting all evidence the police have. We examine the circumstances and any motives your accuser may have. It is not unusual for child molestation charges to arise in divorce and contested child custody cases.
Early involvement by a skilled defense lawyer will provide your best opportunity to avoid embarrassing and potentially devastating criminal charges.
