Criminal Investigations
If you are contacted by law enforcement regarding one of the crimes listed below, the assistance of a criminal defense attorney is absolutely essential. Remember, the police are not your friends. The point of their investigation is not to help you or protect your rights. Giving law enforcement officers consent to search your home, car, office, computer or briefcase could give the police the evidence they need to put you in prison and brand you a sexual predator. Similarly, providing statements to law enforcement could seal your fate. Call the sex offense criminal defense attorneys at DMT. Help us, to help you; call to get sound legal advice before speaking to anyone. Remember, anything you say, can and will be used against you.
Consequences of a Conviction for a Sexual Offense
An arrest or conviction for a sex offense can also carry devastating consequences, such as incarceration in the county jail or state prison system. Additionally, a person could suffer loss of employment and government benefits. The State of Florida may place limitations on your liberty (i.e., where you can live) and require you to register as a sexual offender or predator. Poor legal representation for an individual charged with a sex offense could permanently damage your relationship with your family, friends and your position in the community.
