    I came across Ed’s website after google searching DUI attorneys. This was the first time I needed to hire a lawyer. After speaking with Ed I was confident he would get my DUI down to a wet and reckless. And that is exactly what he did. Thro...

    I live in the Los Angeles area, but I needed help with filing a motion at the Palo Alto courthouse. It was based on a brand new law and was too delicate to do myself in pro se. I reached out to a few attorneys and ended up hiring Mr. Samuel...

    Got in trouble with a red light camera making a turn on red. Ed talked me through my options, offered candid views on my chances of winning, then took the case to court and won!

Palo Alto Criminal Defense: Child Molestation Allegations

Palo Alto child molestation allegations attorney serving Cupertino, Los Gatos, Mountain View, Redwood City, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Saratoga & Sunnyvale

CHILD-SEX/CHILD MOLESTING CASES

As difficult as it may be for someone to be accused, I have years of experience in getting acceptable results for my clients in this situation.

Charged crimes in this area can be quite serious with significant state prison exposure. Attorneys not experienced in this field can unwittingly increase the degree of that exposure. For instance, in many situations, each act complained of, and for which the individual suffers conviction, could lead to full, separate and consecutive state prison sentences, lifetime registration as a sex offender, and other sanctions. However, the prosecution may not charge many of the acts complained of by the "victim." Unwitting exposure to these uncharged, but lurking, allegations could prove extremely damaging.

My experience in these matters gives me the ability to provide knowledgeable counsel and recommendations as to when to proceed in spite of this additional risk, and when to take advantage of the prosecution's failure to charge all allegations.

Also, I am aware that angry divorces often lead to these kinds of allegations. I have experience in dealing with that. The fact that one spouse charges the other with child molesting during these kinds of divorces, although not normal, is still not unusual. I work closely with family law attorneys to provide the best representation in these cases.

My Palo Alto Criminal Defense law firm serves all of Northern California and the Bay Area with particular emphasis in child molestation defense for Cupertino, Los Gatos, Mountain View, Redwood City, Saratoga, Sunnyvale, Palo Alto, Santa Clara County, San Mateo County, and Alameda County.
