Sexual Assault of a Child is a hard charge to defend.  I have tried many such cases to a jury, and have also had some success settling these cases short of trial.

I have heard it said in the many seminars I have attended on this topic that the only thing worse than a person being charged with sexual assault of a child is an innocent person being charged with such a crime.

In Texas, conviction for any form of sexual assault of a child includes sex offender registration.  This can involve many years of humiliating public scrutiny, even if a long prison term can be avoided. Sex Offender registration statututes are constantly changing and therefore must be carefully reviewed before any sort of plea is entered.

No case requires more preparation and careful jury selection than one of these crimes. If a person is Convicted by a jury, the punishment can be severe. Careful selection of a caring, well-prepared lawyer is esential in these cases.
