Regardless of the type of criminal charge you are facing, you need to hire an attorney to ensure your rights are properly represented in a court of law.

Will I Be Required To Register As A Sex Offender?
Answer
If you are charged with capital, life or any other degree of felony, you will be required to register as a sex offender. In addition, if the offense was committed against a minor, you will be required to register. Sex offender registration will restrict your opportunities, limiting where you can live, work and travel.
