Los Angeles Sex Crimes Lawyers

Sex crimes are serious offenses that could hurt your professional and personal life if you are found guilty. Therefore, if you are charged with committing a sexual offense, you must get yourself a highly qualified sex crimes attorney to avoid being convicted for this life-altering offense. A conviction could earn you prison time, fines, parole, or imperative counseling regardless of whether you are innocent or guilty. Unfortunately, if you end up being convicted of a sex offense, you will be required to register with the sheriff’s office or your local police station as a sex offender for life. Ending up on the sex offender registry has life-changing consequences since you will be required to live by certain restrictions. For example, sex offenders must stay away from certain areas like public parks or schools and may find it difficult to secure or maintain employment due to their tarnished reputation. Having a knowledgeable sex crime attorney on your team will help you avoid getting convicted for this life-long offense.

What is considered a sex crime?
A sex crime is a criminal offense arising from violent sexual acts, engaging in sexual acts with a minor, or when the sexual act was not consensual. Although many sex crimes are prosecuted at the state level, those involving a minor, violate federal law or cross state lines are taken up by the federal government.

Federal Sex Crimes
Some of the sexual offenses that are categorized as federal sex crimes include:
• Child Pornography
• Transporting minors over international borders to involve them in sexual acts.
• Sex Trafficking
• Trafficking an individual for Prostitution
• Soliciting underage Prostitution through the internet
• Sexual exploitation of a minor
• Internet sex crimes

When an individual is convicted of a federal sex offense, they could be facing anywhere from ten years to life in federal prison in addition to other penalties like fines, compulsory registration as a sex offender and other life-long punishments. Due to the serious nature and consequences of federal sex crimes, you need to get qualified Sex crime attorneys who will efficiently represent you in federal court. At Sex Crimes Lawyers, we know how to argue your case to get you the best possible outcome. We employ a proactive approach and fight tenaciously to get your federal charges dropped.

State Sex Crimes
Although state sex crimes are considered less complicated than Federal sex crimes, they also carry a jail term in a state prison or community service upon conviction and the mandatory requirement to register with the sex offender registry. Some common state sex offenses, which can either be misdemeanors or felonies, include:
• Soliciting Prostitution
• Indecent exposure
• Intentionally transmitting an STD
• Forced oral sex
• Rape
• Sexual assault
• Statutory Rape

Approaches to a Sex Crime Defense
Before the sex crime charges are filed, we conduct independent investigations to figure out the best approach. In many instances, those charged with these life-altering offenses tend to be innocent hence the need for early intervention.

Conducting private investigations
Because of the seriousness and consequences of sex offenses, we carry out thorough investigations to ensure our clients’ do not end up with a sex crime conviction based on false allegations. Since accusers sometimes get their facts wrong, lie or accuse the wrong individuals, we look into the credibility of the accuser’s claims and interview witnesses to uncover the details, which will help us win the case.

Conducting private lie detector Tests
Although lie detector tests are not admissible in court, they are useful tools we employ to get sex crime charges dropped. If the polygraph tests prove that our client is not lying about not committing the offense, we present the test to a prosecutor, who may either reduce the sex crime charges pressed against the accused or drop them altogether.

Making Plea Bargains
Sometimes those charged with serious sex crimes are given the option of pleading guilty to lesser charges by a prosecutor to avoid expensive trials and uncertain outcomes. Taking a lesser charge helps the accused avoid jail time or end up in the sex offenders registry.

Pre-Trial Motions
Our proactive approach towards sex crime cases helps us get a ruling in our favor once we issue a motion to suppress evidence. Alternatively, once we gather enough evidence to prove our client’s innocence, we put together a strong case to convince the prosecutor to dismiss the case before it goes to trial.

Defending our client at trial
Our sex crime attorneys have the legal expertise to present a strong defense in court to ensure you get the best possible outcome, as evidenced by our impressive track record. In addition, we take our time to research and gather all the mitigating evidence to ensure the court rules in your favor.

Time is of the essence if you are charged or accused of committing a sex crime. If you find yourself in this life-altering predicament, contact Sex Crimes Lawyers immediately.

I was hesitant to hire the Spodek Law Group. I read reviews and knew they have a great reputation. However, I thought I would spend money and not see or speak to my attorney. From the beginning to end of my case Todd and the entire staff were available and willing to help. We worked towards and end result that was way above my expectation and Todd delivered. I am forever grateful for patience and long days and night spent working on my case. Thanks Todd and the entire team!

My attorney at Spodek was Abigail. She was very knowledgeable and helpful with all my questions and concerns, as well as responsive. Her fees are affordable and Abigail took the time to make sure I understood everything relating to my case. I highly recommend Abigail and will request her services in the future.

I'm very satisfied with the services rendered by Todd, Alex and Mary Lou. I whole heartedly recommend Spodek Law Group . I've worked with and have retained other attorneys in the past with Todd's firm being the cream of the crop for many reasons. A very serious legal matter was resolved after a year's hard work and effort. Todd expertly guided me through the process and was able to navigate and make the good journey bearable as well as successful. Mary Lou initially provided excellent assistance before referring my case to Todd. Alex's support was effective and timely. The customer portal (MyCase) is an invaluable communication tool that also kept track of my case. Various aspects of my case were explained and there were several options provided but I made the final decision of how the case would be handled. The legal fee was reasonable considering the effort and amount of work plus it was a flat fee regardless of the length of time required to conclude my case. Todd made himself available to me and we had many scheduled meetings to go over the progress and to discuss the next steps. I felt more confident after many discussions with him. You will not go wrong choosing Spodek Law Group for legal matters.

Being that it was the first time that I was in need of an attorney, I was afraid and hesitant and knew I needed the absolute best. It is beyond understood why Spodek Law Group has a reputation of being the top, if not the best law firm in New York. Alex and Abigail were there every step of the way even at the most unconvenient hours. I could not have asked for more. They are extremely good at what they do and they delivered much much more than just winning my case. A big thank you to Alex and Abigail for all the guidance and counseling and their upmost loyal support that extended far more than just legally. If you need the absolute best than don't hesitate to hire Spodek Law Firm.

I cannot tell you how thankful I am to Todd and Alex for their hard work and dedication to my case. I had never been in any trouble before but I had an unfortunate event occur and in the midst of COVID-19 at that therefore I knew I needed a team that was dedicated to my success. Today- my case has been finalized and I’m walking away with no record and can continue life as a mother and a Grad student worry free. I cannot express enough gratitude for their assistance.
