Crimes Against Children

Dallas Child Sex Crime Defense Attorney

An accusation of indecent contact with a child can destroy a reputation and life faster than almost any other criminal accusation. You may be instantly labeled a sex offender or pedophile by friends and neighbors - even if you are wrongfully accused and innocent - if you are investigated for or accused of crimes against children. You need an experienced, aggressive criminal defense lawyer to fight for you.

With Patrick J. McLain, Attorney at Law, people accused of sex crimes against children get the vigorous representation they need. If you are being investigated for child pornography, or you have been charged with a sex crime involving a child, contact us as soon as possible to schedule a consultation.

We handle cases of crimes against children such as:

  • Sexual assault
  • Child molestation
  • Sexual abuse or neglect
  • Indecent exposure to a child
  • Indecent contact with a child
  • Internet solicitation of a minor
  • Online child pornography
  • Other computer-related crimes
  • Kidnapping

While all sex crimes are viewed by the public as very serious, sex crimes against children are seen as particularly egregious. Often, because of the high profile these cases carry, prosecutors are very aggressive in working for convictions and lifetime sex offender registration under Megan's Law for people who are charged with crimes against children or having illegal relationships with minors. You need an aggressive defense attorney who will protect your rights.

As a former prosecutor and criminal court judge, Patrick J. McLain is familiar with every aspect of criminal trials and is experienced in building a strong defense for people charged with crimes against children. We know how to fight for your rights and work to protect your reputation. We give our clients peace of mind knowing that they have a criminal defense lawyer with the experience, skill, and tenacity to pursue every avenue in the quest for a satisfactory result.
