Pearland Sex Crimes Attorney
Mere accusations of a sex crime can be enough to destroy your personal and business reputation and permanently damage your career and livelihood. In contested divorces, allegations of sex crimes are frequently used as leverage to obtain additional child support, spousal maintenance, and a disproportionate share of the marital estate.
Depending on the crime alleged, conviction for a sex crime can carry a sentence of up to life in prison. In addition, if convicted, registration as a sex offender for life is often required.
If you have been accused of a sex crime it is important that you not only know your legal rights, but make sure they are upheld throughout your legal proceedings. While you may believe that the allegations are unfounded and that your innocence is obvious, if you do not have experienced legal representation for your criminal defense, you may be unpleasantly surprised when things don’t turn out as favorably as you had hoped.
Child Protective Services (CPS) and law enforcement will often contact the accused. If you have been contacted by a case worker, investigator or detective it is important to realize they are not on your side. They are gathering evidence for the criminal case. It is critical that you hire an attorney as soon as possible to start building your defense.
