Standing Up to Aggressive Prosecutors and False Allegations
Most child molestation allegations are made against a family member, a family friend, a babysitter or someone else who is known to the child in question. In a minority of cases, someone is accused of abducting or kidnapping a child for the purpose of molestation.
In either case, if you are convicted of child molestation, you will probably be sentenced to jail time and required to register as a sex offender for life under Megan's Law.
If you hire me to represent you, I will immediately make sure a proper forensic medical exam has been done. I will also carefully scrutinize any testimony the child has given and any motivations anyone may have for making false allegations of child molestation against you.
Child molestation charges can change your life permanently. You need an experienced and aggressive defense attorney working on your case right away. Contact me today to discuss what I can do to defend you against these serious accusations.
