Charged with the sexual abuse of a child?

Being accused by a child of doing something sexually inappropriate can be devastating.  Just the accusation can have serious long term consequences for a person’s reputation, job, and family life. Even worse the word of child can be enough not only to bring criminal charges, but also to convict in a court of law.

Amazing as that is, no corroborating evidence is necessary! There may be no physical evidence, no medical evidence, no expert testimony, and no eyewitness testimony and the word of a child can send an adult to prison for life. Many of these charges a person cannot get probation for, and even if they do get probation carry sex offender registration requirements which alone can be devastating.

Hiring an attorney as early as possible in the process can provide great benefits. At the Darrow Law Firm we understand how to fight these kinds of allegations. Paul Darrow is a former Galveston County Criminal District Attorney that was assigned to the Child Abuse division as a prosecutor. He now brings his inside knowledge of handling hundreds of these cases to help his clients. Knowing how the State will present its case, and expert witnesses, if they have any, is crucial to preparing a successful defense. We believe the best way to fight these charges is by never letting up on the government’s case. Many times these cases must be set for trial because even taking a plea bargain for probation can be devastating to a person’s life due to sex offender registration requirements. Paul almost always investigates and prepares his cases himself. He does work with some of the best investigators and experts in the field, and will consult with them on a case by case basis.

Fighting these cases requires skill, experience, and determination.  Hire an experienced attorney today to fight your case.
