If you are, then you will be required to annually update your registration with local law enforcement as long as you live in, work in, or attend school in the state; have your name, address, and picture released to the public as a sex offender; and face additional criminal charges if you fail to register as a sex offender.

Get the Help You Need from a Sex Defense Lawyer in Newport Coast CA

There is no one-size-fits-all defense to these allegations. You need a Sex Defense Lawyer in Newport Coast 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 goal can be to find the best possible plea deal we can get for you. We will try to reduce the consequences as much as possible – including attempts to have the charges reduced to no longer trigger the requirement to register as a sex offender.
