Get Ahead of the Prosecution

Give yourself every fighting chance by hiring a sex crimes lawyer to devise a case strategy that works in your favor.

Prosecutors Must Prove Their Case Against You

Penal Code 288 makes it illegal for anyone to knowingly and willfully commit lascivious acts with a child under the age of 14 with the intent to gratify yourself or the child sexually.

Sex charges are often difficult to fight as they usually take place behind closed doors, without witnesses or evidence aside from the allegations themselves.  Claims are often false, invented for revenge or in an effort to gain an advantage in family court proceedings. When you work with us, we will examine the evidence in your case and explore all defenses available.

For prosecutors to convict you of this crime, they must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that:

1. You acted intentionally
2. The act was offensive
3. Your intent was for sexual gratification

Instead of letting the prosecution mount a one-sided case, hire a sex crimes lawyer to help you successfully defend the charges. Amicus Legal Group is ready to defend the case while working toward a dismissal or reduced charges and/or penalties. Our team is always in your corner.
