HUDSON VALLEY SEX CRIMES DEFENSE LAWYER FAQ

Steps To Take When Accused of a Sex Crime in New York State

When arrested stay calm and do not to speak with police without your lawyer present.

If you or your loved one are accused of committing a sex crime, you will need a defense attorney that understands New York State laws as they pertain to sex charges. Sex crimes laws are complex and there are many different ways to defend the charges brought against you. Lisa is a former prosecutor of sex crimes involving adults and children as victims. Be aware that Orders of Protection are routinely issued and your lawyer will discuss this with you. Often family court cases are brought too.

Your lawyer will want to view your emails, texts messages, thus preserve your evidence. You will work with your lawyer to review police reports or other documentation including electronic and physical evidence that may have been compiled (“Discovery”) and contacting any witnesses who may have information about what happened.

Write down your timeline of events that lead to and include the alleged event. This will help you understand the charges against you. Keep your story straight. In addition, keep the details of your case private. Best to only talk to your attorney about the details.

You should assume that any communications you have at this point may be reported to law enforcement or recorded or both. It is common investigative technique to have the accuser, or a family member of the accuser make a recorded call to you to ‘confront” you to provoke an admission or an apology. Either will be used against you. Contact with accuser can put you at risk for contempt charges for violating the Order of Protection that will be issued against you at your first court appearance called the arraignment.

Do not voluntarily allow the police to search your place or conduct any DNA testing unless its court ordered.

Lisa has been nothing but amazing since she took over my case. I have been dealing with an insane amount of BS from my ex-wife, who had me face Misdemeanor charges, so she can leverage our divorce. Lisa took the case when I was at a dead-end with the DA and my previous attorney wasn't able to get to a satisfying resolution. Lisa has her magical way of making things work, and after only a couple of weeks, the case has been resolved. The reason I chose her over so many other lawyers I interviewed, was the sense of justice.
