Types of Sex Crime Cases We Defend

Florida law imposes some of the harshest penalties for sex crime convictions. Depending on the charge, you could face years, or even decades, in prison, steep fines, strict probation conditions, and mandatory counseling. In most cases, a conviction also means placement on Florida’s sex offender registry, which can severely limit where you live, work, and even travel.

We handle a wide range of charges in Jacksonville, Duval County, and throughout Northeast Florida, including:

• Sexual battery and assault: Felony-level charges with the potential for lengthy prison terms.
• Indecent exposure and lewd acts: Misdemeanors that carry serious reputational damage and long-term consequences.
• Child pornography offenses: Complex cases that often involve federal prosecutors and digital forensic evidence.
• Solicitation or prostitution-related charges: Common in police sting operations across Jacksonville and surrounding areas.
• Internet sex crimes: Accusations of online solicitation or enticement, often tied to undercover investigations.

Regardless of the accusation, having a lawyer who understands both the legal system and the local courts can make a significant difference in the outcome.

Building a Strong Defense in Northeast Florida

Time is critical in sex crime cases. The earlier you involve a lawyer, the more options you may have to influence the investigation and protect your rights. Our team focuses on exposing weaknesses in the prosecution’s case and crafting strategies that give you the strongest defense possible.

We examine every detail, including:

• Challenging the evidence: Questioning the reliability of witness testimony, DNA, or digital evidence.
• Investigating police conduct: Identifying illegal searches, improper interrogations, or entrapment in sting operations.
• Negotiating outcomes: Seeking reduced charges, alternative sentencing, or solutions that minimize long-term consequences.

Our familiarity with Northeast Florida’s court systems, including Jacksonville and surrounding counties, means we know how local prosecutors operate, and we know how to fight back.
