Long Beach, California, Sexual Assault Defense Lawyer
If you have been charged with a sex crime, you face two judges: the California criminal justice system and the court of public opinion. Under current California law, a conviction for specific sex crimes may carry the additional penalty of having your name included on the statewide sex registry. For some felony convictions, you may be required to register your name and address for the rest of your life. The criminal penalties are severe enough, but the sex registry can mean a lifetime of lost job opportunities and restrictions on your freedom. A conviction for most sex offenses also means a strike against you under the California three strikes law. If you have been charged, your entire future is at stake. Make sure you are putting your trust in a California Board Certified Criminal Defense Specialist.
