CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY – CRIMINAL DEFENSE LAWYER
The criminal defense attorneys at Rice Law Firm understand that being accused of a sex crime can be devastating to not only the accused, but to his or her family as well. The mere accusation of a sex crime, and the stigma that accompanies it, can cause serious professional and personal repercussions.

Conviction can result in substantial prison time and a requirement of sex offender registration. Penalties may also include, among other things, restrictions on contact with minors, restrictions on where you can live, sex offender treatment program, mandatory curfew, electronic monitoring, mental evaluations, and restrictions on internet usage. Other effects of conviction may linger long after your sentence is served, such as difficulties securing employment or housing.
