The unfortunate reality, if you are charged with a sex crime-related charge, is that law enforcement and the public will likely rush to judgment about your guilt. To make sure you receive fair treatment, it is critical that you secure legal representation as quickly as possible.
I am criminal defense attorney Gregory Smith, and I can act quickly to help you minimize the damage caused by charges such as these. My law firm in St. Louis, Missouri, represents people facing federal and state charges like:
There is no doubt how scary it is to face sex crime charges, and law enforcement will try to take advantage of that fear. It is important that you exercise your right to remain silent until you first speak with a lawyer like me. Police will use your words against you and attempt to twist them into a confession.
With prison, probation and lifetime sex offender status — which can hinder your ability to find a job or housing — all possible outcomes, it is important to work with a lawyer before speaking to police.
As a trained forensic scientist, I can evaluate any DNA evidence and use my knowledge of the field to question the prosecution’s allegations. As an experienced trial lawyer, I know what it takes to make the state prove its burden.
At my law firm, I firmly believe that everyone deserves his or her day in court. That means your case will be treated with the utmost discretion and courtesy. Contact The Law Office of Gregory N. Smith to schedule a free consultation today to learn more.
