Sex-Related Criminal Offenses
Glenn Swiatek has developed a unique understanding of how sex-related crimes work and an aggressive, thorough approach to defending them. Defending sex crime charges is a multifaceted type of criminal defense. Not many criminal defense lawyers have the experience, training and resources necessary to win a sex-related case.
If you are convicted of a sexual offense in Florida you may be required to register as a sexual offender. This may require you to have your name appear on the internet. In addition this will require registration at the local sheriff’s or police department where you reside.
Those convicted of a sex crime may be subjected to a lengthy prison sentence or a long probationary sentence with very difficult conditions imposed.
It is critical that you seek out the advice of an experienced criminal defense law firm when you are first accused of a sex offense. We have unfortunately seen how badly cases can be handled when a lawyer takes on a sexual abuse case without the adequate experience.
When Glenn Swiatek is able to start defending you early in a case, he can make arrangements to minimize the embarrassment and pain of being prosecuted for a sex crime. Rather than allowing you to be arrested at home or at work, he can contact law enforcement and attempt to arrange for you to turn yourself in. He can attempt to have you released on your own recognizance or on significantly reduced bail. The most important reason to hire Glenn Swiatek early in an investigation is so that he can negotiate with prosecutors before charges are filed, convincing them to file less serious charges than law enforcement requested, or sometimes no charges at all.
