Child Sex Offenses
Southeast Texas Child Sex Offense Attorney
Houston Child Sexual Contact Defense Lawyer
If you have been accused of sexual contact or indecency toward a child, your credibility will be in question. The police, the prosecutor, and the general public will probably believe the child no matter what the background or facts of the case might be. As a society, we want to protect children, and that is appropriate. But we also need to protect the rights of people accused of child sex offenses.
At the Law Offices of Thomas A. Martin, we have extensive experience handling child sex offense accusations. At our criminal defense law firm, you will find a Southeast Texas child sex offense attorney who will listen to your side of the story and who will defend your rights no matter what the situation.
Have you been questioned? Have you been arrested? Whether or not you feel you are innocent of the accusations, you need a lawyer experienced in cases like yours. Depending on the facts of the case, we will work to keep charges from being filed, to have the charges dismissed, to obtain a fair plea bargain that limits the damages you are facing, or to fight the charges in a court of law. We have represented people in a wide range of cases.
- Indecency with a Child (sexual contact or sexual exposure)
- Aggravated Sexual Assault (child rape)
- Adult Sexual Fondling of a Child
- Pedophilia
- Teacher and Student Sexual Contact
We have found through experience that child sex offense charges are often based on false allegations. We have won dismissals in cases in which detailed descriptions of the location and of the accused person proved to be inaccurate. Some allegations prove to be physically impossible. Others are based on peer pressure, pressure from adults, an attempt to avoid discipline, a desire for attention or money.
Whatever the reason for false charges, contact child sex abuse defense lawyer Thomas A. Martin for a thorough investigation and an aggressive defense.
If there is any merit at all to the charges, your attorney will continue to vigorously defend your rights while working to limit the consequences.
