Smart, Strategic Defense Against Serious Virginia Sex Crime Charges
Although every American is innocent until proven guilty, most people accused of a sex offense experience what feels like just the opposite. Sex crimes are a highly charged issue, and allegations alone are often enough to ruin someone’s reputation. If you’ve been charged with a sex crime, it’s important to remember that a court of law is very different from the court of public opinion.
Unfortunately, these same biases can often be seen in prosecutors and juries. You cannot afford to simply plead guilty or to trust your case to a novice attorney. The stakes are too high. Instead, contact Walker Jones, PC. Our firm has been a trusted name in criminal defense since we opened our doors in 1978. We have deep roots in the communities of Warrenton and Rappahannock, and our team of talented attorneys serves clients throughout Virginia.
Lawyers Ready To Defend You Against A Wide Range Sex Offense Charges
The two attorneys overseeing our criminal defense practice are John C. Clark and Antonio R. Benedi. They have decades of combined experience defending clients against charges related to:
- Sexual assault and battery
- Rape, date rape
- Solicitation of a minor
- Internet sex offenses
- Child pornography
- Statutory rape
- Prostitution
- Indecent exposure
While the majority of criminal cases are resolved before trial, the attorney you hire needs to be prepared to professionally and effectively argue your case in front of a judge and jury. Our attorneys are trial-tested and have a strong track record of success on behalf of clients. However, if avoiding trial is important to you, they will help you understand all your legal options and seek the resolution method that best meets your needs and goals.
Hiring The Right Attorney Is Critical When Facing Sex Crimes Charges
Being convicted of a sex crime in Virginia carries serious consequences that can impact your life significantly. Criminal penalties often include lengthy prison sentences, hefty fines and fees, probation and mandatory registration as a sex offender. This registration can affect where you live, work and even travel, as you will be required to notify authorities of your whereabouts.
Beyond the criminal penalties, a conviction can lead to noncriminal consequences as well. Your reputation and relationships may suffer, and you could face social stigma and isolation. Employment and housing opportunities become very limited.
Don’t take chances with your freedom, your future or your reputation. Instead, rely on defense lawyers who are always on your side and in your corner.
