Law Office of David A. Breston
Texas Sex Crimes Defense Lawyer
Why should you hire attorney David A. Breston to defend you?
David A. Breston knows that many people who are charged with a sex crime are not guilty, and he will do everything possible to win your case. He believes that if you are accused of a sex crime you need to hire an attorney will a lot of experience and someone who is proud to defend this kind of case. You are dealing with a situation that could negatively affect the rest of your life Any prison sentence or probated sentence requires compliance with very rigid sex offender registration requirements for probably the rest of your life.
I. If the police, children's protective services, or the police contact you and want to talk to you:
In my opinion, someone accused of this crime should always talk with an attorney before speaking with anyone investigating the case. The best thing to do is to let your attorney contact these people Many times a person accused of a sex crime will not be contacted by a police officer investigating an allegation but rather an investigator for Children's Protective Services. This will allow a non law enforcement person to interview a person accused without advising them of the charges or the nature of the allegations. No one is allowed to be present during these interviews and they are not recorded in any fashion. This is a critical stage in the investigation. This part of the investigation is not designed to help the person accused but rather to gather information that can assist a prosecution. No interview should be conducted without counsel.
Once a child is interviewed by Children's Protective Services and its investigation is complete, the police are notified. The investigating police officer may also attempt to contact the person accused. Many times this investigation is not to understanding the circumstances of the allegations or the relationship between the child and the person accused but rather to attempt to get a person to make an inculpatory statement.
2. You learn there is a warrant for your arrest:
If you learn there is a warrant for your arrest or an allegation has been made, arrangements need to be made to post bond. A bail bond is a guarantee of your appearance in Court and the bond amount varies in amounts. Many times we have arranged with bonding companies to interview a person accused of an offense before charges are filed so that the bonding company is ready in an emergency.
3. You have been charged and arrested:
When you are charged and arrested for an offense, you will have to appear in court on a number of occasions before your case is resolved. You will have to tell your story repeatedly and a thorough investigation will be conducted using experienced investigators. Witnesses will be interviewed. In some cases, forensic experts or trial consultants will be retained to assist in the defense and trial preparation. The better prepared you and your lawyers are, the better the results.
