Atascosa County Attorneys for Sexual Offenses, Including Sexual Assault and Prostitution
The Texas legal system maintains harsh punishments for those convicted of sexual offenses. Both violent and non-violent crimes carry substantial incarceration and heavy fines, as well as registration as a sexual offender, all of which can devastate your family and ability to earn a living for the rest of your life.
Estimates indicate up to 10 percent of sexual assault allegations are false claims, and other sex crime charges can involve mistaken identity or false reports. If you stand accused of a sex crime, it is imperative you immediately enlist the help of an experienced criminal defense attorney. At BRCK Criminal Defense Attorneys, our lawyers include judges and former prosecutors who deliver an aggressive approach to defend your rights and achieve a favorable outcome.
