Tips to Finding the Right Sex Crime Attorney Its very important when accused of any sex crime that you hire a professional attorney as soon as possible. This is not something to be delayed and waiting until you have officially been arrested could result in issues with your case later on, making it harder for your sex crime attorney to secure you the best and fastest resolution. Another important thing before hiring an attorney is when you have been accused or called into the police station for questioning, do not answer any questions, as this may hinder your case. Rather tell the officers you wish to speak to an attorney. It's your right to call in a sex crime attorney straight away who can advise you and assist you during this phase of your case. Remember what you say now can and will be used against you in the court of law, so rather than saying something that can damage your case, cooperate with police, don't fight being taken in for questioning, but do refuse to answer questions until your attorney arrives. Finding an attorney on short notice is not a difficult task. There are lots of criminal defense attorneys working in your local area. Ideally you can ask a family or friend for a referral from an attorney they may have used in the past. If this fails, there is always the internet.

Remember don't wait, if you get wind that you are being accused, get legal counsel immediately to ensure the best possible outcome.
