Potential Penalties:
Sex crime convictions in California come with harsh penalties, which can include:
- Prison or jail time
- Hefty fines
- Probation or parole
- Mandatory counseling or rehabilitation programs
One of the most devastating consequences is mandatory sex offender registration, which can affect where you live, your employment options, and even limit where you can visit. Once registered, you’re placed on a public list that can follow you for years, or even for life, depending on the crime. This public exposure can ruin your personal and professional reputation. That’s why it’s critical to have an experienced defense team on your side to fight these charges from the start.
Challenging the Evidence
Challenging the Evidence
Sex crime cases often rely heavily on testimony, digital evidence, or forensic results. We conduct a thorough investigation to find flaws in the prosecution’s evidence, challenge unreliable testimony, and uncover any violations of your constitutional rights. We will aggressively question the integrity of any physical or digital evidence presented against you.
Exploring All Legal Defenses
Every case is unique, and we will explore all available defenses, from mistaken identity to consent. False accusations, misinterpretations, or coerced confessions are not uncommon in these cases, and we will ensure that the truth is brought to light.
Negotiation & Litigation
While we are skilled negotiators, we are always prepared to take your case to trial if necessary. Our attorneys are trial-tested, with experience in achieving favorable verdicts. If a plea deal or alternative sentencing can achieve a better outcome, we will negotiate aggressively to protect your future.
