FLORIDA SEX & INTERNET CRIMES DEFENSES LAWYERS
SEX CRIMES ARE SERIOUS. YOU NEED A SERIOUS DEFENSE.
If you are wondering if you can afford to fight a sex crime charge in Florida, you should be asking: Can you afford not to? Failing to fight a sex crime allegation can result in more than just a prison term or the stigma of sex offender registration.
If you have been arrested, or if you are under investigation for a sex crime in Florida, you should know that the police and prosecutors are under tremendous public pressure to be tough on sex crimes.
False Accusations/False Allegations
In our years of experience representing people accused of sex crimes, we have seen cases where we were able to prove that there were false allegations. We have seen false allegations in situations where a couple has broken up or going through a divorce, when there is a child custody battle and when the alleged victim was caught cheated on their significant other and did not want to lose their current relationship. In a false accusation situation, being able to flush out the truth is not an easy task. With our nearly 50 years of experience, we know where to look to give you that chance to prove your innocence and reclaim your reputation.
Do not volunteer information to the police or make any statements without first securing the services of a proven criminal defense lawyer.

Internet Sex Crimes
Online solicitation of a minor and Internet child pornography charges seem to be on the rise. These are often complex cases involving tens of thousands of pieces of evidence, such as e-mails, direct messages, chat room logs, image files and other digital information.
It can take a highly experienced team of trial lawyers to avoid being buried by the prosecution during the discovery phase of an Internet sex crime case. We have the skill and proven track record of success to stand up for your rights and fight for your freedom and your future.
Sex Offender Registration
If you are convicted or plead guilty to a sex crime in Florida, you will almost certainly be forced to register as a sex offender…for the rest of your life. Sex offender registration can make it difficult or impossible to live, work or go to school in peace. Failure to register can land you in jail. Your future may be changed forever without the help of a lawyer who will fight for you.
Civil Commitment Upon Release
In Florida, the Jimmy Ryce Involuntary Civil Commitment for Sexually Violent Predators’ Treatment and Care Act (commonly known as the Jimmy Ryce Act) allows state attorneys, Florida Department of Corrections and the Department of Children and Family Services to file civil proceedings against individuals who have been convicted of a sex crime upon their release from incarceration.
Civil commitment to a secure “treatment facility” is supposed to prevent dangerous sexual predators from re-offending. In fact, it is a way to keep those convicted of sex crimes behind bars long after their prison term has elapsed, and potentially forever.
