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.

    "Outstanding lawyers. You have got to talk to them!"
    The firm helped me out in Yonkers, NY with a drug arrest. I thought all was lost and my wife was really annoyed with me. My lawyers kept everything under control and really put my mind at ease. They explained everything and even answered my frantic questions on a Saturday!! They are the type of guys that makes you feel good and knows what they are talking about. Its like everyone knew my lawyer in court and my lawyer was always prepared much more prepared than the DA. They worked everything out for me and all I had to do was stay out of trouble for a few months and the case was dismissed. Just like that dismissed. I wrote this review because I called the firm months and months later and even though I wasn't calling to hire the firm for anything they took the time to talk to me on the phone like a friend. If you don't know what lawyer to call you need to talk to Proto, Sachs & Brown, LLP!! They are great!

    "With me every step of the way"
    Keith Brown and Andy Proto are bothe very caring, knowledgeable and attentive attorneys. They were with me every step of the way through a very tough child custody case. On first meeting, Keith told me we would come out victorious and he held true to that. Their strategy was explained clearly and decisively throughout and was available at any time to answer any questions or concerns I ever had. When it came down to crunch time, they worked countless hours even outside of their regular business hours to get the results we want ed and needed. I would recommend this firm and these attorneys to anyone in need.
