Skilled Defense for Sensitive Charges

Sex crime accusations often trigger both criminal and public judgment before the case is heard. That’s why we move quickly to challenge weak evidence, control the narrative, and shield our clients from unnecessary exposure. Whether you’re under investigation or already charged, early legal action is essential.

Answers When You Need Them Most

  • What should I do if I’m falsely accused of a sex crime?

    Do not speak to the police without a lawyer. Gather any potential evidence, avoid contact with the accuser, and reach out to a qualified defense attorney immediately.

  • Will I have to register as a sex offender in NY if convicted?

    Most sex crime convictions require registration under New York's Sex Offender Registration Act (SORA). The level of registration depends on the conviction. We work to avoid conviction and registration entirely whenever possible.

  • Can sex crime charges be fought and won at trial?

    Yes. In fact, Texido Law secured a not-guilty verdict in a First Degree Rape trial in July 2024 after discrediting the complainant’s testimony and exposing investigative flaws. Every case has its own facts, and we tailor our strategy accordingly.

  • Can the alleged victim drop the charges?

    Not directly. In New York, the prosecution makes charging decisions. However, lack of cooperation from the complainant can affect the case’s strength.

  • Will my name be made public?

    In many cases, yes—but we can sometimes work to limit media exposure or petition to keep certain filings sealed.
