Charged With Sexual Misconduct In Texas?
A sex offense allegation can cause devastating damage to your social standing, your career and your personal relationships. Sex crimes involve some form of sexual misconduct and include such crimes as sexual assault, aggravated sexual assault, indecent exposure, public lewdness, prostitution, promotion of prostitution, indecency with a child, aggravated sexual assault of a child and possession of child pornography.
No other criminal allegation carries with it the indelible stigma of a sexual offense. Whether the allegation is the possession of illicit pornography or the sexual assault of another individual, a person accused of sexual misconduct will face the immediate need for a well-qualified attorney.
Such a client will face a determined prosecutor who has typically received lengthy training focused on the area of sexual assault. The client will also face the possibility of sex offender registration that will require dramatic lifestyle changes, including the possibility of relocation. Our firm is more than capable in challenging the serious nature of sex crime investigations and charges.

A person accused of a sexual offense will often face legal complications involving family law.
