Charged with a Sex Crime? We Can Help

When you are accused of a sex crime in Harris County or anywhere in Texas, the consequences can have a more lasting impact on you and your family. Just the mere allegation of a sex offense can ruin your reputation, your standing in the community, and your relationship with your family and loved ones. Allegations of sexual assault, even sexual assault of a child, can arise from false accusations or from situations where the accuser has a very high motive to lie or could have been manipulated into telling a falsehood against you, including in divorce and custody disputes. A conviction or even a plea deal to charges such as sexual assault, child sex abuse, possession of child pornography or any sex offense can result in lengthy prison sentences and a requirement of lifetime registration as a sex offender.
