Southaven Sex Offense Lawyer
Desoto County Statutory Rape Attorney
At the law office of Patrick Stegall, Attorney and Counselor, we handle criminal defense matters of all types, from traffic tickets to violent crimes, in local, state and federal courts. As an experienced defense attorney with a proven track record, I am committed to providing client-focused service and reliable representation.
Conviction of a sex offense can carry with it severe penalties and repercussions that can remain with you for the rest of your life. Being branded as a sex offender can ruin an individual, and having to go on the state’s sex offender list makes it difficult to find a job or even a place to live. It is crucial to hire an experienced Southaven criminal defense attorney that will take the time to closely review your charge and keep you involved throughout the case.
North Mississippi Sex Offenses
With years of criminal defense experience and an emphasis on serving the needs of clients, I have the tools, resources and attitude to be an effective lawyer in fighting your case. I work with sex offense clients charged with a range of crimes, including:
•Sexual Assault
•Rape
•Statutory Rape
•Pornography
•Sexual Battery
•Juvenile Sex Crimes
•Patronizing Prostitution
•Sex with a Minor
While I am preparing to defend you in the courtroom, I’m also pursuing the best solution available for you. Some sex crimes are based only on the victim’s word, with no eyewitnesses or forensic evidence. It may be best to try these cases if the government does not have proof beyond a reasonable doubt. Other cases may
require reaching the best settlement agreement possible, to avoid the cost and embarrassment of a trial. It all depends on the facts and what you as the client are comfortable doing. I build multiple strategies and keep you informed of the options and opportunities available to you. Whether we argue your case before a judge, pursue a dismissal or negotiate for a plea bargain, you can be confident that I am working toward your best interests.
