Felony Sex Crimes and Their Defense
Sex crime accusations and charges are often based upon a person’s word. A person should not be found guilty just because of a supposed victim’s recollection of events. Unfortunately, this can occur when an incompetent lawyer tries to defend a sex crime and cannot get the defendant’s side of the story, and the facts, known to the judge and jury. At Finebloom & Haenel, our team of criminal defense attorneys is not fazed by the nature of the sex crime you may be accused of. Our lawyers and staff understand what it takes to prove your factual innocence or to prove instances where your rights were violated – thus leading to lessened or alternative sentencing and dismissed cases.
