Los Angeles Child Molestation Attorney

Child Molestation Lawyer in Los Angeles

If you or a loved one has been charged with child molestation in the Los Angeles area, now is a critical moment in your life. In the case that you are convicted of a misdemeanor, you will face up to a year in county jail and a maximum fine of $5,000. A felony conviction can land you in state prison for as long as 16 years, with a fine of up to $16,000. On top of your sentence you will probably end up paying for any counseling the alleged victim seeks after the case. Finally, you face the prospect of having to register as a sex offender anywhere you live. Even if you leave Los Angeles or California altogether, your name will appear on a list that any neighbor can look up, which gives your name, address, photograph and the type of crime you are convicted for until the end of you life-whether or not you are in fact guilty.

With so much at stake for your future, you should get the help of a Los Angeles child pornography defense attorney to help you resolve the case as swiftly as possible. There are many circumstances that can lead to a charge of child molestation, but there are at least as many possible defenses to protect you.

Unfortunately, defendants in cases of this nature are often subject to hostility and pressure from people who don't respect the principle of "innocent until proven guilty'' and it helps to have the protection and guidance of an experienced attorney who knows what you're going through and who will respect your situation. You need someone with thorough knowledge of the types of possible defenses for child molestation as well as the aggressive approach it takes to punch through the case of the prosecution and get a successful outcome for the defendant.
