Defending Against Accusations of Child Molestation
Accusations of child molestation can arise in one of two contexts — and sometimes in both at once. A person may be accused by California Child Protective Services (CPS/CFS) with child sexual abuse as part of a petition to remove a child from the home. Or, a person may face criminal charges of child molestation.
At The Law Offices of Johnson & Johnson, we have the experience and training to defend our clients against accusations of child molestation no matter how they arise. Since 1993, our attorneys have focused their legal work on the areas of criminal defense and juvenile law. When you hire the law firm of Johnson & Johnson, you can rest assured that your advocates will fight on your behalf in both the criminal justice system and the juvenile dependency system, when necessary.
Early Intervention by an Attorney Is Critical
If you are facing accusations of child molestation, early intervention and involvement by an experienced defense attorney is extremely important. Your lawyer should be involved with the proceedings in which the prosecutors or CPS/CFS officials arrange for the child's medical examination and interview.
Our attorneys have years of experience working with experts who understand the phenomenon of false accusations of child molestation, and we know how to insist upon proper examination and interview procedures so that the child is not encouraged to make false accusations.
Don't Let the Stigma of the Accusation Keep You From Acting
In child molestation accusation cases, the stakes are extremely high. Improper handling of your case could result in loss of your personal freedom via a prison sentence, loss of custody of your children, and loss of your personal and professional reputation where you live and work.
We urge you to contact us to schedule a free and confidential initial consultation. Do so as soon as you have any indication that you are under investigation for charges of child sexual abuse. We have offices in both Pittsburg and Walnut Creek.
