Lawyer For Sex Crimes
Any conviction of a criminal offense that is sexual in nature wreaks havoc on the accused, victims and family members of both. If convicted, the results are usually long prison sanctions, destruction of one’s reputation and an overwhelming feeling of being condemned by the community where you reside, your peers and loved ones. Florida is a State that is particularly harsh when it comes to prosecuting these crimes. Crimes that consist of lewd or lascivious battery, molestation, conduct and exhibition. Other associated offenses are unlawful sexual activity with minors, sexual battery and rape. Certain crimes in Florida require minimum mandatory prison sentences that the Court has no discretion when it comes to departing and handing down less severe sanctions. The only way this minimum mandatory sentences can be avoided, is if the prosecutor handling your case agrees to waive them. Mr. Clayman will investigate the case in its entirety, depose all listed State witnesses, including the victim then work with the prosecutor to show deficiencies in their case in chief. This is done to get min mans waived and in some cases avoid jail or prison time entirely and even can result in your case being down-filed to less severe charges or even dismissed.
