Northern California Sex Crime Defense Attorneys

Hayward - Fremont - Pleasanton - Alameda - Oakland

One of the most important considerations in a sex crime case is the requirement for those convicted to register as a sex offender for the rest of their lives. That is a consequence as serious as any prison sentence — and a consequence our lawyer will work to help you avoid.

When we represent a person charged with a sex offense, one of most important things we can do is help our client get into a position where the district attorney will either dismiss the sex charge or reduce it to a charge that is not a sex offense and would not require sex offender registration.

We represent clients charged with all types of sex offenses, including:

• Possession of child pornography (often downloaded from the Internet)
• Dissemination of child pornography through e-mail or web sites
• Attempted child molestation
• Internet chat room offenses, such as luring
• Statutory rape
• Rape
• Stalking
• Molestation

One of the most difficult sex charges to defend is child molestation. The offense is hated by the public and disliked by district attorneys and judges. It takes a skillful attorney to be able to put a human face on a client if he is in fact facing these charges. Above all, we try to understand the client and relate to him as a person in need of help. Lastly, We aggressively defend the client. Sometimes a child or young adult has motivations to lie. Those lies can be exposed and the defendant cleared of all charges. This has happened on more than one occasion.
