Gainesville & Ocala Sex Crimes Attorney

Florida Sex Crimes Defense Lawyer

A conviction for a sex crime is often more serious than any other type of conviction. If convicted of a sex crime in Florida, you can receive a sentence of up to life in prison.  You may also be sentenced to heavy fines, restitution and probation. If convicted, you will also have to register with the national sex offender registry.  A sex crime accusation and conviction can easily ruin your reputation for life.

If you are accused of a Florida sex offense or if you are being investigated for one, you should speak to an attorney immediately to learn about your rights, your defense, and the legal system. Contacting an attorney early on is critical. Do not attempt to speak to law enforcement without an attorney. Anything you say can and will be used against you. Do not contact the victim or his/her family. Contacting the alleged victim can make your situation worse and it may appear that you are trying to influence a witness. The successful resolution of a sex crime case requires a combination of effective legal counsel, thorough investigation, and aggressive negotiation techniques.
