A sex crime is a serious charge. If you’re facing an accusation, you most likely don’t know what to do next. Our criminal defense law firm handles each consultation with honesty and privacy. These are the most common questions we receive from our clients.

In Alabama, a person is called a sex offender only after being convicted of a crime. The Alabama Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA) defines these crimes. A court must confirm this classification. If you are labeled a sex offender, you must register your home, work, and vehicle information with the state for life.

Yes, you should hire a sexual assault attorney, especially if you’re innocent. Hiring a lawyer is not an admission of guilt. It’s taking action. Without a strong legal defense, a false accusation can result in a conviction.

There is no time limit to prosecute a capital crime in Alabama, including any sex offense with a victim under 16 years old. Evidence fades and witnesses disappear. When defending against older allegations, you need an experienced sexual abuse lawyer. If you’re uncertain about your legal options or charges, we recommend that you reach out to our law firm.
