Phoenix, Arizona Sexual Conduct with a Minor / Child Molestation Defense
It goes without saying that these charges are among the most serious that someone can face. Conviction can often mean hundreds of years in prison, without parole. Even if someone has not yet been charged, it is still essential to get legal counsel as taking the offense could keep you from being charged.
Having successfully handled so many cases in Phoenix and around Arizona, we are well aware that false accusations are often made, particularly when a divorce is pending and the custody of children is at issue. Through diligent investigation, the use of expert witnesses, and aggressively challenging the prosecuting attorney evidence, we are often able to attain unusually favorable results for our clients who have been charged with this type of criminal offense.
We realize the seriousness of these charges and have the ability and experience to vigorously defend these types of cases. Because each case is very fact specific, we ask that you contact us directly for a consultation on your particular situation.
Why Are These Charges So Serious?
Arizona law classifies crimes involving minors under the age of 15, real or fictitious, as 'Dangerous Crimes Against Children.' The penalties for these crimes are among the toughest in the country. Sentences are generally not parole eligible - meaning that every day of a sentence must be served - and sentences must run consecutive to each other. |
