Learn About California’s Sex Offender Registry Requirements

Yes, a Sex Defense Lawyer in Huntington Beach CA Can Help You
There is no one-size-fits-all defense to these allegations. You need a Sex Defense Lawyer in Huntington Beach CA who will carefully evaluate the facts and devise a defense plan tailored to your specific case.
How can we provide this? Because we have been doing so for decades. We know the rules of evidence and we know how forensic analysis of DNA, hair, fibers, and other evidence can impact the case. We know how to challenge these and other types of evidence. We generally start by looking at the case to show that there is not enough evidence to convict you. If you have already been charged, we will work to convince the D.A. to drop the charges. If you have not yet been charged, we will work to prevent charges from ever being filed.
In situations in which there is enough evidence to charge you, we can show the D.A. what that evidence really shows – and that it’s not what they think it is. One common example is showing that supposedly non-consensual sexual activity was in fact entirely consensual.
Another objective might be to obtain the finest feasible plea agreement for you. We’ll endeavor to mitigate the penalties as much as possible, including reducing the charges so that they don’t compel you to register as a sex offender.
