Defense Against Sex Crime Charges

Being accused of a sex crime does not deny you the same basic rights that other citizens enjoy. It will take an effective defense, however, to secure and protect those rights. With specific sex crimes, you will be charged with a Class A or B felony, with terms in prison for many years, up to life in prison. In limited cases, a life sentence can be given without the possibility of parole, probation or conditional release. Your defense begins with a thorough examination of all police reports, witness statements, search warrants and other pertinent information that lead to your arrest and charges. At times, evidence against you can be suppressed if the Jacoby Law Firm can show that search and seizure in your case was illegally done. Where possible, our firm strives to cast significant doubt as to your guilt and the reliability of the evidence against you.
