Urgent Steps to Take
When police investigate sex crimes, they use aggressive tactics. Before speaking to anyone, contact a qualified legal representative right away.
- Handle Confrontation Calls Carefully: Law enforcement often attempts unrecorded or recorded “confrontation calls” to trick suspects into incriminating themselves. If you receive a call from an accuser, hang up immediately. Do not apologize, explain, or answer questions without an attorney.
- Secure Confidential Computer Forensics: Even if you delete files, state experts can often retrieve them. It is critical to have our confidential, independent investigator examine your digital devices to secure your rights.
- Simpson Hearings and Bond: In Arizona, some sex offenses are considered non-bondable. However, you have the right to a Simpson hearing, where the state must prove under oath that they have compelling evidence against you. Our firm leverages these hearings to cross-examine state witnesses and fight for your pre-trial release.
