Law enforcement aggressively pursues sex crime offenders, particularly cases involving sexual assault. You can also expect the prosecution to tenaciously seek a conviction if the case goes to trial. A guilty verdict will not only result in severe sentencing, but also a criminal record that can limit your job choices and affect your ability to obtain certain professional licenses. It may even affect education and housing opportunities. If your sentencing includes sex offender registration, your personal information, details about your crime and photo will be posted online where it can be viewed by the public at any time and for any reason.
The firm's legal team is fully aware of the long-term repercussions of a sexual assault conviction, and will look for weaknesses in the prosecution's case that can be used to reduce charges or get the case dismissed.
