Regardless of criminal penalties, a sex crime conviction will change your life forever. In most cases, California law requires that an individual convicted of a sex offense must register with local law enforcement as a sex offender, and renew that registration every year for the rest of their life. Failure to do so is a crime. In addition, specified sex offenders must have their photographs and personal identifying information, including home addresses, published on the internet. This is known as Megan’s Law.
Our defense attorneys have protected the rights of those accused since the California sex offender registry was developed, and have successfully defended against the requirements of registration and posting on the internet. We serve clients in the Livermore, Pleasanton, and Dublin Judicial District of Alameda County and throughout Northern California.
Being required to register as a sex offender will affect every aspect of your life, including where you live, getting and keeping a job, and even the purchase and sale of real estate. California real estate brokers routinely disclose the location of registered sex offenders to prospective buyers of real estate.
If you are accused of a sex offense, you should contact an experienced, reputable sex crime defense attorney immediately. The consequences of waiting are dire.
If you have already been convicted of a sex offense, you should explore all alternatives available to avoid further registration and try to have your photograph and personal identifying information removed from the internet. Our lawyers have just the experience and formidable reputation you need to defend yourself against sex offender registration and posting on the internet.
