San Bernardino Sex Crimes Defense Lawyers

If you’re accused of a sex crime, you’re facing much more serious penalties than most criminal defendants. Public sentiment has made sex crime defendants into near-outcasts, and politicians have followed suit by making laws that require years or even decades in prison for sex crimes. And those punishments don’t end after you’ve done your time. Convicted sex offenders in California face the prospect of lifelong registration, severe residency restrictions, loss of a professional license, child custody problems and more. And of course, that doesn’t take into account the social effect of a sex crime accusation, which can end marriages and friendships and even put you in danger of physical harm. If you’re facing sex crimes charges, you need the help of an experienced San Bernardino sex crime defense lawyer.

Wallin & Klarich can help. We may be the most experienced sex crime defense firm in Southern California because we have represented the California Teachers Association for more than 20 years. We’ve defended more than 1,000 teachers accused of crimes, including sex crimes that could end their careers. Thanks to that experience, we have the privilege of teaching sex crimes defense techniques to other attorneys and have commented many times on high-profile sex cases for Southern California media. No matter what accusations you face, we’re prepared to defend you against any sex charge, including:

• Forcible rape
• Statutory rape
• Sexual battery
• Molestation of a child 14 or older
• Lewd acts with a child under 14
• Sex offender registration violations
• Possession of obscene matter or child pornography
• Indecent exposure or lewd acts in public
• Prostitution, pimping or soliciting prostitution

How Wallin & Klarich Can Help

It’s important to call Wallin & Klarich as soon as possible after you learn you might be charged with a sex crime in San Bernardino. Law enforcement officers don’t always treat defendants with respect, and anything you say, even in an informal interview, could be used against you later. Unfortunately, we’ve also seen cases where an inexperienced defense attorney has missed opportunities to keep a client out of jail or otherwise minimize the consequences of a sex charge. If we take your case as early as possible, we can start working immediately to lower your charges, keep your court case from affecting your job and protect your family and social life.

Because a sex-related charge is so often a question of your word against another person’s, Wallin & Klarich has a good chance of defending you based on credibility. Using independent experts, psychiatrists and investigators, we can show that your psychological profile doesn’t match the crime you’re accused of. We can also look for evidence that your accuser isn’t completely credible or motivations for lying, such as a relationship gone sour, a history of false accusations or substance abuse. With young children, it could be as simple as discovering that they’re only repeating what they believe the adults around them want to hear. If there are eyeball witnesses, Wallin & Klarich will look for ways in which they could be unreliable or mistaken. And if you were entrapped by law enforcement, our San Bernardino defense attorneys will aggressively challenge the legality of the entire case.
