Registration as a Sex Offender in New York State

If you are convicted of a sex offense the court, after a hearing, will determine the risk level of the offender for committing another sex offense and harm to the community. Level 1 is designated as a low risk, Level 2 is a moderate risk and Level 3 is a high risk. There are also three designations assigned to a sex offender; sexual predator, sexually violent offender or predicate sex offender.

Level 1 requires registration as a sex offender for 20 years and level 3 and 4 requires registration for life. The basic obligations of a registered sex offender include verification of home address every year, providing a current photograph to law enforcement, notification of attendance at any school, providing information regarding internet service providers, screen names and e-mail accounts. However, there are several other requirements including reporting to employers, release of personal information, prohibition from being near children, treatment, disqualifications from certain employment and many others.

The Defense of a Sex Crime

We advise our clients to get past the embarrassment, fear, and outrage of the crime to focus on the best criminal defense.

The criminal defense will focus on some or all of the following:

  • The client interview where we learn the facts and circumstances of the case.
  • Challenging the prosecution's evidence to see if they can actually prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt.
  • Addressing issues involving the credibility of the prosecution's witnesses.
  • Exploring the defense of entrapment.

Escape from the Nightmare of a Sex Offense Charge - (914) 840-5104

Super Lawyers Stephen J. Riebling Many sexual offenses are as a result of false accusations from a bitter, jealous or mistaken accuser. Sometimes people are manipulated by friends, family or even professional agencies to make a complaint to the police. In adult situations, consent is always investigated as a potential defense to the charge. All of these circumstances must be explored and pursued by your defense attorney.

As sex offender criminal defense attorneys our goal is to protect your rights by fighting to avoid a sex-related charge, to avoid prison sentences, to avoid sex offender registration, to avoid probation, to suppress evidence and to seek a dismissal of the charges wherever possible.

If you or a loved one needs help with a criminal investigation or sex crime charge, call our office today at (914) 840-5104 and speak with one of our Westchester County criminal defense attorneys.

    "He defended me successfully and I was found not guilty. I am grateful to Andrew for seeking and defending justice."
    Andrew defended me in a serious traffic violation of which I was not guilty. He kept me informed at all times and was knowledgeable and responsive. Notwithstanding that the judge would not accept a plea bargain for this offense as a matter of policy, Andrew requested a trial. He defended me successfully and I was found not guilty. I am grateful to Andrew for seeking and defending justice. I would recommend him highly.

    "They are winners!"
    The law firm and partners handled my case like pros. You see my overall rating of these men. I'm an excitable man I guess it was better not to inform me about some things so I didn't act out at the time they wanted me to stay calm. Outstanding, you go lawyers.
    - Former Client
    "As far as lawyers go, Mr. Sachs is an "11 out of 10""
    WOW, can't say enough about David Sachs, professional, aggressive, knowledgeable and never left me in the dark about my felony DWI case. When I hired Mr. Sachs and his firm I already had a felony DWI conviction and I was sentenced to five years' probation. I came to the firm with my second felony DWI charge and probation violation. Mr. Sachs was able to get me restored back to probation with no jail time. Then I picked up my third felony DWI charge and I thought it was all over for me. However, Mr. Sachs never lets up! I doubted his belief that I could get back on probation and stay out of state prison. But in the end, he delivered! Mr. Sachs gave a very passionate sentencing argument to the judge. I was very moved myself. Because of the Mr. Sachs' loyalty to me and his profession, the impossible was made possible! As far as lawyers go, Mr. Sachs is an "11 out of 10". God Bless.
