How Representation from The Nieves Law Firm is Different

Sex crime charges are almost always accompanied by severe penalties due to the nature of the crimes. If you hire a Richmond Sex Crime lawyer from The Nieves Law Firm to represent you, we will invest a large amount of energy, time, and legal knowledge in your case. Some lawyers and law firms are focused on churning through as many cases as possible with one simple goal, pleading the case down to a lesser charge. That is not how we operate at The Nieves Law Firm.

Our goal is to avoid a sex crime conviction for our clients.  It may mean a reduction in charges,  getting the charges dismissed, or fighting it at trial like we have done for numerous clients in the past.

Common Sex Crime Offenses

Sex crimes include a number of offenses that are sexual in nature. Some of the common sex crimes we have defended clients accused of include:

  • Rape : Having sexual intercourse without the consent of the other person.
  • Sexual Battery: A nonconsensual harmful or offensive touching for purposes of sexual gratification.
  • Human Trafficking: Depriving or violating the personal liberty of another with the intent to obtain forced labor or services, procure or sell the individual for commercial sex, or exploit the individual in obscene matter.
  • Indecent Exposure: Exposing the naked body or genitals in front of anyone who could be annoyed or offended by it.
  • Lewd Conduct: Conduct that is committed for the purpose of arousing sexual gratification of yourself or the person the conduct is directed toward.
  • Statutory Rape: sexual intercourse with a minor

If you are facing any of the charges listed above, it is important that you contact a Richmond sex crimes lawyer as soon as possible so they can begin building a defense for your charges.

Sex Crime Penalties in Richmond

The penalties for sex crimes depend on the specific crime for which you are charged. . Sex crimes can be charged as either a misdemeanor or felony, depending on the details of the case, and they can both have a negative impact on your life. Hefty fines, long prison sentences, and registration as a tiered sex offender are just a few of the many severe sentences that can be imposed  as a result of a sex crime conviction.  Sex offender registration could make it difficult to find housing due to sex offenders inability to live in certain neighborhoods, and being banned from living within a certain distance of schools and daycare facilities.

If you are convicted of a felony sex crime, you will also likely lose your ability to own a firearm and your right to serve on a jury. The negative consequences of a conviction are severe, and it is important that you have a strong defense strategy and well-versed lawyer if you are facing sex crime charges. Contact a sex crime lawyer in Richmond to learn more about the specific penalties you are facing and what options are available to help you face these charges.
