Allegations of criminal sexual conduct and similar crimes have been shown to result in more erroneous convictions than any other offenses. While the allegation can be both unnerving and embarrassing, it is imperative that you protect your rights at the earliest possible moment.
We at Mertens, Laxton and Clement have experience in handling these cases in a professional and confidential manner. On those occasions where we are retained prior to the issuance of charges we are experienced in working with our clients to avoid having charges issued at all. Where charges are ultimately issued, we are well versed in the intricacies of the law and work diligently to avoid not only convictions, jail time or prison time but to further avoid the long term stigma of being a registered sex offender.
