Houston Sex Offense Attorney

The Law Offices of Matt Horak

A sex crime is any sex act that is categorized as illegal by a state or district.  In the United States, each state has its’ own laws when it comes to sexual offenses, so crimes and punishments will vary.  In the state of Texas, aside from facing legal penalties like jail time and fines, convicted sex crime offenders will have to enlist their name and personal information in the state’s sex offender registry.  Once this happens, people will be labeled as “sexual offenders” and will find it most difficult to lead a normal quality of life.   

Texas Sex Offense Lawyer                         
Representing Individuals in Harris County & Montgomery County

When people have been charged with sexual offenses, almost instantaneously they are judged by their family, friends, neighbors, peers and community.  Even in cases where the accused are innocent, they may still be subjected to unfair stereotypes and labeling.   For some people, this maltreatment is even more brutal than the thought of having to spend time in jail.  All at once, people who have been accused of sex crimes will find that they are more alone than ever and that they have no one to confide in.

If you have been charged with a sex offense, do not think that you are alone or without options.  The simple fact is, despite what people around you may think, you are innocent until you are proven guilty in a court of law.  Additionally, you have legal rights that were created to protect you.  You can best exercise your rights by working with a qualified Houston sex crime defense lawyer who is empathetic to your individual situation and who will go out of his/her way to defend you, such as Attorney Matt Horak.
