Sex crimes are among the most serious offenses for which a person can be charged, and the penalties associated with a conviction could have a dramatic effect on your life. You could be facing prison time, hefty fines, and mandatory registration as a sex offender.

If you have been arrested and charged with any type of sex-related offense, it is important to speak to a qualified criminal defense attorney immediately. At the law firm of Jeffrey Coller, Knoxville Criminal Defense Attorney, we recognize that just being charged with a sex crime can lead people to believe that you must be guilty.

We know what is at stake, and we are prepared to provide the guidance and representation you need and deserve.

Aggressive, Reliable Defense Attorney in Anderson County

Our culture places a great deal of pressure on police and prosecutors when there is reason to believe that a sex crime has been committed. The public expects the police to make arrests and prosecutors to convict the guilty party or parties. Sex crimes, however, are often complex, and there is not always a party who is clearly guilty. In many situations, the case hinges on the word of the alleged victim against the word of the alleged perpetrator.

At our firm, we know that every story has at least two sides. If you have been accused of committing a sex crime, you have the right to present your side of the story, and we will work with you in making the most of your opportunity to do so. We will also help you challenge evidence and witness statements when appropriate, and we will work to hold law enforcement officers and prosecutors accountable for questionable investigative tactics. Sex crime allegations must be met with an aggressive response immediately, and our firm is ready to help you take the necessary action.
