Child Abuse

Child Molestation and Criminal Defense Lawyer

Just the term "child molestation" causes many people to shake their heads and declare, "Burn them all!" The issue of child molestation is heated; thus, if you or someone you care about has been accused of this crime, it is imperative that you seek legal advice before it's too late.

Often, innocent persons who are charged with child molestation simply assume that the public defender will help them clear their names. This is far from the truth. Although public defenders are hard-working men and women, they are also usually swamped with work; thus, your child molestation case will not necessarily be on the top of their lists. Additionally, many public defenders are inexperienced and fresh from law school or are very early in their law careers; thus, they haven't quite learned their way around a courtroom. This may equate to bad representation for you.

Instead, you deserve someone who will fight for you and won't do so in a judgmental or inadequate way. At our firm, we have helped plenty of persons like you who have been accused of child molestation. With our expertise on your side, you'll be able to avoid a future that includes, among other things:

Jail Time - Those who are convicted of child molestation often spend a good amount of time in prison, as the terms are strict and judges are less-than-lenient in these cases.

Social Stigma - Anyone convicted of child molestation is immediately dubbed a terrible human being. As such, he or she will forever be treated with little respect from neighbors, communities, and employers. Sometimes, relationships also head south after a child molestation conviction.

Sex Offender Registration - If you are convicted of child molestation and serve a prison term, you will have to register as a sex offender when you leave jail. This means that your name will be accessible to anyone, anywhere through the Internet. And you might not be able to rent or buy a home or obtain gainful employment for this reason.

Loss of Income - If the words "child molestation conviction" are on your record, they will never be expunged. This means that potential employers will be able to see them. Hence, you may never be able to work again except in very low-paying hourly wage positions.
