Sex Crimes

San Diego Sex Crime Defense

For our criminal justice system to work, the rights of people who are accused of crimes should be protected. In recent years, this has not been happening much for people who have been accused of committing a sex crime. More focus is paid on punishment rather than efforts to seek help and treatment for persons convicted of sex crimes.

If you have been arrested for and charged with a sex crime, the time to act and get yourself a lawyer is now. Protect your rights and contact an attorney at The Law Offices of Shapiro & Clamon in San Diego today.

At The Law Offices of Shapiro & Clamon, we believe that everyone who has been accused of a crime deserves to have effective legal counsel and a vigorous defense of his or her rights. We are an AV®-rated* law firm under Martindale-Hubbell's peer review rating system. This is a confidential rating by other lawyers and judges, and we have received the highest rating available for legal ability and ethical standards.

Our practice extends to people throughout the San Diego, California, region and involves a wide range of sex crime charges, including:

Protecting Your Rights

Because law enforcement agencies and D.A.'s offices can get significant funding, media attention, and praise for arresting and convicting sex offenders, they sometimes overstep their bounds whether in a sting involving an on-line chat room, or a raid of a massage parlor or strip club in San Diego.

Instances of entrapment or due process can be used to effectively defend clients. Some of the people we've helped simply want to avoid further embarrassment and want us to handle the matter as quickly and quietly as possible. Others may face the prospect of losing their professional license in addition to the costs of conviction and want us to defend their rights aggressively. Those decisions will be up to you.

A Note About Child Molestation

Child molestation cases are complicated. A simple slip of the hand or accidental touching can result in allegations of sexual advances. Our lawyers will identify the motive behind the allegation. You can depend on us to fight hard to protect your innocence.

Removal of Names From Sex Offender Registries

For serious crimes like child molestation, convicted sex offenders are required to add their names to a sex offender registry. However, many are forced to add their names even after a minor offense. If your name was unjustly added to a state or federal registry, we will fight to remove it.
