Very few allegations can damage your future as much as the charge of a sexual offense. Serious charges can be made by anyone regardless of physical evidence and are too often pursued by overzealous prosecutors. To make matters worse, local defense attorneys are often reluctant to aggressively defend against sexual charges for fear of damaging their reputation in the community.

When you are accused of any sexually based crime, there is a natural tendency for everybody to consider you guilty regardless of the facts. We believe in your innocence and are prepared to take your case to trial, whether or not the prosecution plans to do so.

A sexual charge must be aggressively defended. There generally are no acceptable plea agreements that come with sexually based crimes, even for minor offenses. A conviction on any of these crimes will result in registration as a sex offender, usually for life, felony conviction and prison time.

This is why we get trial-ready very early in the case. We know that to get an acquittal will take a tremendous amount of work. The earlier we get involved, the better the results will be.

This law firm was built specifically to specialize in the area of sexually based offenses ? specifically child molestation, pornography, rape and offenses against minors. These types of cases are unique in so many ways that you need highly specialized legal counsel to handle them. We are the leading experts in sexual crimes defense and have carefully assembled a team of senior trial attorneys with extensive experience in this area and a spectacular track record.

Criminal Defense Associates is a statewide law firm. We are not afraid of confronting local judges and prosecutors to aggressively defend against heinous sexual charges. In fact, we bring a level of intimidation that often results in a favorable settlement or dropped charges without the need for a trial.

If you, a family member, or a friend has been accused or charged with a sex crime, please do not hesitate to contact us immediately. In criminal matters, specifically sexual offenses, having experience and being proactive can be pivotal to the outcome of your case. In protecting your rights, we can help reduce or eliminate bail requirements, get appropriate motions to suppress evidence, provide emotional support to loved ones, perhaps even obtain motions to dismiss the case ? all in an effort to keep your matter "one step ahead" of the prosecution.

We know that there are thousands of innocent people spending time in prison for something they didn't do. This is the driving force behind this firm ? the most powerful criminal defense law firm in the country.
