Defending Against Sex Crime Charges in Florida
If so, our criminal defense lawyers have handled cases involving false or exaggerated allegations of assault, solicitation, molestation, lewdness and indecency. In spite of all the publicity, many offenders are still surprised to learn that crimes such as indecent exposure or public lewdness can be charged as a sexual offense. However, your name, reputation and career could be permanently damaged even by false allegations, so it is most important to seek legal counsel immediately following any arrest.

Common Types of Sex Crimes
When you face a sex crime accusation, penalties depend on the charges brought against you. Attorney Chris Jones works hard on your behalf, gathering and analyzing the evidence against you to build a creative defense strategy to seek the best possible outcome for your case. At The Law Offices of Edwards & Jones, our attorneys have the courtroom experience to represent sex crime offenses to include:
- Sexual Assault and Rape
- Public Lewdness
- Prostitution Charges
- Online Solicitation of a Minor
- Indecent Exposure
- Indecency with a Child
- Child Molestation
- Aggravated Sexual Assault
- Use of Date Rape Drugs
- Internet or Cyber Sex Crimes
Being investigated for a sex crime can be a horrifying experience and any conviction could haunt you the rest of your life. However, if there was a delayed report of allegations, we may find the evidence against you is tainted and our legal team will work quickly to have the case dropped or charges reduced. If the charges stem from interacting with undercover law enforcement officials, we will hold the government accountable to the letter of the law. In cases where there was a change in the family structure, such as a divorce, our attorneys will aggressively challenge the credibility of the alleged statements against you. Don't take unnecessary risks with your future. Call us at (352) 329-3632 for expert representation.

I first hired Thomas Edwards to defend me and my daughter in the early 1990s. He put his heart into that case. Of all the attorneys in the state of Florida, he would be the one I would call if the need for an attorney ever arose again.- Jan
-
I hired Mr. Jones to represent my son. We had never had to hire a lawyer and I was anxious. Mr. Jones took the time to explain what was happening and it helped lessen my concerns. Once we hired him he started work immediately and was able to get my son's case thrown out. We are very satisfied with his services.- Robert H.

We are from Lake City, Florida. As parents, we sought the help of Mr. Edwards on my daughter's behalf. As a young lady, she had acquired multiple felonies with the prospect of 10-15 years in prison facing her. Mr. Edwards heard our case, took it on with confidence, and got her sentence reduced to 10 years probation, and restitution. That was 8 years ago, and my daughter is married, has a son, and is doing great. She hasn't even had a traffic violation. Because Mr. Edwards believed in us and took a chance, we will forever be in his debt. He is a great lawyer, with a very big heart.- Colin

Mr. Jones went beyond needed services as a lawyer to help me with my very in depth case. Very helpful throughout the whole 6-7 month process. Not only did he get all my questions answered to the best of his abilities but also really showed compassion for my family & I during the case as well as after. 5 star lawyer, highly recommended. Thank you for all your hard work!- Jackie A.
