Attorney Swanson strongly believes that one of the keys to building a strong and effective case against child molestation charges is to extensively meet with his client to obtain factual information about the circumstances establishes a defense to the charges. Whether you are charged with child abuse, sexual assault of a child, inappropriate touching, we will try to uncover evidence that supports a not-guilty verdict or help us negotiate a reduction in the charges or an effective plea bargain.
Our firm also routinely employs investigators to look into the background of the complaining witnesses as well as develop information provided by the accused that proves their defenses. We often consult with psychologists and psychiatrists who evaluate our clients, often resulting in evidence that they do not possess any propensity to molest a child.
The purpose of exploring all these options is to build the strongest case possible and to explore any relevant defenses, because if you are convicted you could face a very long prison sentence. Also, a child molestation conviction counts as a strike under California's three strikes rule. Our mission is prevent a conviction and to help preserve your reputation in the community.
As in all sex crimes, defending child molestation charges requires a very detailed strategy as well as in-depth research, because the stakes are so high. Contact experienced criminal defense lawyer David E. Swanson
