Stand Strong With Gonzalez & Waddington

Facing charges of lewd or lascivious conduct can be one of the most distressing experiences in your life. At Gonzalez & Waddington, Attorneys at Law, we understand the gravity of your situation and are prepared to stand by your side with a robust defense.

The Role of Evidence in Your Defense

Our firm places a significant emphasis on the analysis of evidence. We meticulously examine the prosecution’s claims, looking for inconsistencies and opportunities to challenge the admissibility of evidence. We understand that the quality of evidence can make or break a case, and we are relentlessly pursuing to ensure that only legally obtained, relevant, and credible evidence is considered.

Expert Witnesses and Testimony

We recognize the potential impact of expert testimony in lewd or lascivious conduct cases. Our firm has access to a network of reputable experts whose insights can be critical in understanding the evidence and providing an authoritative voice on your behalf.

Constitutional Violations and Your Defense

One of the foundations of our defense strategies involves scrutinizing the investigation process for any constitutional violations. Illegal searches, improper interrogation tactics, or a failure to provide Miranda warnings can all serve as grounds for dismissing evidence or even the entire case.

Engaging in Pre-Trial Motions

Pre-trial motions play a critical role in your defense. Gonzalez & Waddington is proactive in filing motions to suppress evidence, dismiss charges, or secure other favorable rulings that may limit the prosecution’s case or lead to more favorable plea negotiations.

Dealing With Sex Offender Registration

We understand the potential requirement for sex offender registration following a conviction for lewd or lascivious conduct. Our firm is dedicated to fighting against this outcome, knowing its lifelong implications.

Sentencing Advocacy

In the event of a conviction, our role shifts to sentencing advocacy. We strive to present mitigating factors and character evidence that may influence the court to impose a more lenient sentence.

Restoring Your Reputation

At Gonzalez & Waddington, we recognize that the court of public opinion often issues its verdict long before a legal judgment is made. We help manage the fallout of lewd or lascivious conduct charges on your reputation, working to protect your name and personal relationships.
