Get the Help You Need from a Sex Defense Lawyer in Laguna Beach CA
There is no one-size-fits-all defense to these allegations. You need a Sex Defense Lawyer in Laguna Beach CA who will carefully evaluate the facts and devise a defense plan tailored to your specific case.
We can promise to provide you with this level of expertise because we have worked with the rules of evidence for decades. We know how to analyze forensic evidence such as DNA, hairs, and fibers – and we know how to challenge this evidence to try and get it deemed inadmissible. Our first goal is to convince the D.A. that there is not enough lawful evidence for them to continue their case. If they have filed charges we will work to get the charges dropped or dismissed. If the charges have yet to be finalized, we will work to prevent you from being formally charged in the first place.
In the event that there is a mountain of evidence against you, we may try to prove that it does not present the image that the prosecution claims it does. We may, for example, prove that you did have sexual relations with the accuser, but that it was fully consensual.
In certain circumstances, obtaining the best feasible plea offer is the wisest course of action. The objective is to obtain the mildest punishment feasible. We might be able to negotiate a lower charge for you that avoids the hassle and humiliation of registering as a sex offender.
