This Texas City sex crime defense lawyer is of the opinion that when
you're arrested or charged with a crime, you should never give up your
right to remain silent and insist on your right to consult with a
sex crime defense lawyer. This Texas City sex crime defense lawyer is of the firm professional opinion that you should be respectful, courteous and cooperative to the
police, but that does not mean testifying against yourself. This Texas City sex crime defense lawyer knows that the right
to remain silent is a very valuable and sacred right protected by the
United States and Texas Consitutions. Don't give it up. You don't have to prove the case against you. Conviction of
many crimes can end jobs and career prospects, cause you to lose your
freedom, your drivers licenses, your right to own a firearm and even
your right to vote, along with social stigma, that may last a lifetime.
If your convicted of certain sex crimes, you may have to register as a
sex offender with the authorities where you reside for the rest of your
life, and have your picture posted on the internet as a sex offender.
Sometimes, if certain procedures were not followed in obtaining the
evidence against you, the evidence against you can be totally suppressed, and
the charges will have to be dismissed, if a motion is properly and
timely presented. Other times you may just not be guilty even though
you were charged. Sometimes a witness against you may lie. Still
other times you may have a justification defense, such as self-defense
or defense of a third party, which may make an assault defensible
because of a justification defense. Sometimes assault may be defensible
because it was the result of a public duty, such as a police officer
making an arrest or a prision guard assaulting a prisioner attempting to
escape It is
imperative that you obtain a skilled lawyer soon after your arrest to
protect your rights. The constitutions gurantee the right to counsel
in serious criminal proceedings because of the potential loss of freedom
and even life in certain cases. Don't give up the right to a sex crime defense lawyer
either.
