Sex crime defense attorneys

In today's society, a sex-related offense carries an enormous stigma. In fact, very few situations can be as devastating to a client as being accused of a sex-related offense.

Once someone is accused of a sex-related crime, people generally behave as if the person has already been proven guilty of the crime. Oftentimes, the accused person’s reputation is ruined, both personally and professionally, with impacts on employment, child custody, and relationships with friends, partners, and family members.

Due to increasing media attention and related pressures, sex-related crime investigations and arrests have multiplied. Unfortunately, the increased pressure dilutes Law Enforcement’s ability to properly investigate sex-related allegations. These accusations usually result in an investigation without consideration of the accuser’s motives and even without corroborating evidence. Instead, Law Enforcement hastily rushes to judgment based on mere speculation and hollow accusations.

The attorneys at Lyons, Snyder & Collin are experienced trial attorneys who know Law Enforcement and hold them accountable for their allegations and investigations.

What will happen next?

Sex crimes carry severe penalties such as high bail and long jail and/or prison terms. Moreover, most individuals convicted of sex-related offenses must agree to publish their personal information and to partake in a lifetime registration procedure with police. Often, the registration requirements are very complex and failure to register may result in an additional arrest. Further, pursuant to legislation, the State of Florida can involuntarily, civilly commit a qualified person who has been convicted of a sex-related offense for an indefinite period of time.
