Lizzy Bunker, Attorney at Law Wants to Tell Your Side of the Story
From prostitution to voyeurism, state and federal laws classify several actions as sex crimes. If convicted, you could face years of imprisonment, sex offender registration, fines, and counseling. Even upon release of your sentence, the sex offender social stigma will follow you around for the rest of your life, impacting your ability to work and find a safe home.
Types of cases our Albuquerque sex crimes lawyer, Lizzy Bunker, represents the following offenses (including the relevant New Mexico Statutes Annotated (NMSA) section):
- Voyeurism (§ 30-9-20)
- Misdemeanor and felony sex crimes
- Simple and aggravated sex offenses
- Federal sex crimes
- Other New Mexico sex crimes
You are not responsible for the consequences of another’s actions or that remain unproven by prosecutors. New Mexico’s criminal justice system requires them to prove your actions and intent with admissible, discoverable evidence. Otherwise, our Albuquerque sex crimes lawyer will point out the flaws in their cases, unlawful mistakes, and offer alternative theories as applicable.
A Successful Defense Starts with a Successful Strategy
Federal and New Mexico criminal courts must follow specific rules and procedures when prosecuting and adjudicating cases. That means they usually build their case before charging you formally, and sometimes, they do not always have their facts correct. Hiring an Albuquerque sex crimes attorney ensures that every mistake made when pursuing your charges comes to light and offers a chance for you to defend yourself.
Potential defenses that you might be able to use when charged with a sex crime could include:
- Mistaken identity
- Insufficient evidence
- Police violations
- Civil rights violations
- Following improper procedure
- And other defenses as applicable
Even if the prosecutor has a solid case against you or your loved one, other options exist during the pre-trial, trial, and sentencing phases of your case to support and argue for the most favorable outcome possible.
