Call our office today to schedule an initial consultation.
Arizona attorney defending the accused against sexual related charges in both state and federal court
Sex-related charges often result in either Arizona state felony charges, Federal criminal charges, or both. A conviction means time in prison, financial penalties, and having to register as a sex offender for the rest of one’s life. Typical charges include:
- Sexual Assault
- Sexual Conduct with a Minor
- Public Indecency
- Internet Child Pornography
- Child Molestation
- Prostitution
- Solicitation
- Failure to Register
- Indecent Exposure
- Pimping/Child Prostitution Charges
These types of charges will often hinge on a few particular issues. First, the testimony of the complaining party is crucial as such charges are sometimes fabricated for a variety of reasons. Second, such matters often rely on physical evidence obtained by the police. If such evidence was collected in violation of the Fourth Amendment then it may be possible to prevent it from being used in Court. Having an attorney who understands these types of issues, and who is versed in trial law, can make the difference in one’s defense.
Arizona attorney Bretton Barber aggressively protects the rights of the accused in such matters. Bretton will immediately obtain copies of all witness statements and will examine any physical evidence related to the case. If feasible, he will quickly file any needed search and seizure motions while determining if the victim’s credibility is an issue. Our office will employ any necessary investigators in order to further explore issues related to testimony of the parties. You are facing serious charges and you need an attorney who will take the matter seriously. Contact our lawyer today to schedule a consultation.
