When Your Future Is at Stake: Hepworth, Pendry & Katkish
The stakes are very high in sex crimes cases. Just being investigated for a federal sex crime creates a huge social stigma. This affects your relationships, employment and future career. Your reputation is on the line. This demands an aggressive sex crimes defense attorney who not only is able to fight for you, but has the necessary knowledge and trial experience.
Avoid Sex Offender Registry
At Hepworth, Pendry & Katkish, our firm has more than 30 years of trial experience. We are more than prepared to aggressively defend you at trial, and fiercely negotiate otherwise. What is particularly serious in federal sex crimes cases is the potential to become a registered sex offender. Once on this registry, it is very difficult to be taken off, especially if you are required to be on it for life. The sex offender registry is public record. No matter where you move, others will be able to discover your status. This will restrict where you work and even live.
Let our attorneys help you avoid this as well as other serious criminal penalties. Call 202-220-3025 or contact us online to schedule a free consultation with one of our attorneys. Hepworth, Pendry & Katkish has offices in Washington, D.C., Maryland and North Carolina.
Federal Sex Crimes
We can defend you against federal sex crimes including:
- Internet sex crimes
- Possession of child pornography
- Distribution/production of child pornography
- Online solicitation of a minor
Federal sex crimes convictions have particularly harsh penalties, especially when it comes to child pornography charges. Federal authorities have become very aggressive and are posing undercover in Internet chat rooms. Remember, even an accidental viewing of child pornography can be grounds for a criminal charge. Let us advise you as to your rights and the best possible course of action.
