Aggressively Defending Clients Against Sexual Offense Charges
The mere allegation of a sex crime can have devastating effects on your life. In the state of Florida, most felony sex crimes expose you to possible jail time regardless of prior record. In an instant, your reputation, credibility, career and family life can be destroyed. A conviction may lead to even more severe consequences, including possible prison time and lifetime registration as a sexual offender or sexual predator.
The law office of Mark E. Hershock aggressively defends people charged with sex crimes. When you visit us in Tampa, Florida, we will give you an assessment of your case and clearly explain your options. We will help you aggressively fight the accusation, while treating you with respect and dignity.
Experienced Lawyer Defending Your Rights
With 31 years of experience, attorney Hershock is a former state prosecutor who handled sex crime prosecution. He handles sex crime cases, including:
- Child pornography
- Lewd and lascivious conduct
- Sexual battery, including forced rape, statutory rape and child molestation
In any sex crime case, the stakes are high. To build the strongest defense possible for you, we will perform a thorough investigation into the charges. We will interview available witnesses, review police reports and review all evidence against you.
Fighting to Avoid Sex Offender Registration
A sex crime conviction almost always includes mandatory registration as a sexual offender or sexual predator. Registration typically restricts where you can live and work. Further, because this information is public, your employer, friends and neighbors will know about your status as a registered sex offender.
We will aggressively fight for you. When possible, we will negotiate to reduce the charge so as to avoid mandatory registration, or work to get the charges dismissed completely. Trust us to confidently handle your case and work to protect your future.
