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.

    "Each lawyer in the firm is very professional. We had complete confidence in them when we retained them for our son's felony drug case."
    David Sachs and the lawyers at Proto, Sachs & Brown, LLP are the best criminal lawyers in Westchester County. Each lawyer in the firm is very professional. We had complete confidence in them when we retained them for our son's felony drug case. Originally we had a different lawyer handling the matter but we felt that the case was headed in the wrong direction as the former lawyer recommended that our son plead guilty to a felony. After we hired them they immediately developed a clearly laid out a strategy and approach to the case and they made us feel at ease. We finally had great lawyers fighting on our son's behalf. Ultimately, our son did not have to plead guilty to a felony or even a crime! Mr. Sachs was able to obtain an ACD dismissal and now our son will not have a criminal record and his plans to become a CPA will not be derailed!!! Thank you soooooo very much Proto, Sachs & Brown, LLP!

    "In the best hands"

    "David gave me the feeling that I was going to be well protected in my trumped up, ridiculously racist criminal charges against me."
    After talking to a couple of other area lawyers, this firm seemed more aggressive. I met with David Sachs at my first meeting and he gave me the feeling that I was going to be well protected in my trumped up, ridiculously racist criminal charges against me. Money well spent. David was fantastic. He was able to have my case dismissed by filing legal papers with a court appearance with testimony (not a trial). Judge agreed with his legal opinion and dismissed my case. I can't thank him enough. Also, on one court date lawyer Andrew Proto from the firm appeared on my case which was fine, because I did hire the firm, but what was exceptional about it was that he knew my case just as well as David. In my view, this firm is top notch.
    - Darius L.
    "Outstanding lawyers. I have worked with them twice and they know what they are doing."
    I have worked with Keith Brown and he always took the time to answer my questions. He always had a plan for me and explained everything clearly.
    - Jason B.
    "The best part was anytime I needed to speak with Andrew, he was available and always offered to answer my questions even on weekends."
    Andrew Proto is the best!! He helped me on my DWI case in Harrison New York so much. All the other lawyers I spoke to were doom and gloom. Andrew told me everything I needed to know about my case and was very aggressive against the DA. I was so comfortable in court with him. The best part was anytime I needed to speak with him he was available and always offered to answer my questions even on weekends. Thanks to him and his office for the help!!!
