Why hire a criminal defense attorney?
Even when no charges have been formally filed, it is important to consult a lawyer just the same. A Jacksonville criminal defense lawyer will be able to give a professional evaluation of the accusation and determine whether legal representation is even necessary. If it is, the lawyer will be able to begin taking preventative measures to help ensure that charges are not filed, that media and public attention is kept at a minimum and that the accused individual's rights are protected.
Without the help of a skilled attorney, a sex crime accusation can quickly become a public affair, the accused individual's rights can be violated, and the individual may even unintentionally incriminate him or herself. Our Jacksonville sex crime attorney aggressively defend clients' rights in order to help them avoid conviction or the other negative effects of a sex crime accusation. Their compassion and respect for their clients in this sensitive situation enables them to fully meet clients' unique needs and wants.
