Indecent Exposure, Rape, Sexual Abuse and Statutory Rape

Sex crimes are one of the most emotionally charged criminal offenses. Being charged with a sex crime can significantly tarnish your reputation. If you are a convicted sex offender, you must register as one wherever you decide to work or live. This is not including the penalties that you may incur such as prison time, fines and probation, among others.

There are many types of sex crimes. The severity of the penalties depends on the individual case and the circumstances surrounding it. Some sex crimes include: prostitution, harassment, date rape, rape, statutory rape, indecent exposure, stalking, spousal rape and more. Many sex crimes can be one person's word against another's. This is why an attorney must closely review any and all physical evidence and statements.

You may or may not be guilty of a sex crime, but it is not my job to judge you on that. My job is to defend you, and whether or not you are guilty, a conviction for this type of crime will burden you for the rest of your life. Are you willing to risk that by hiring someone who does not have experience with cases similar to yours?

Why hire an attorney?

I have worked closely with the Orange County courts for many years, which is an important factor that contributes to the success of any case. The technicalities involved in dealing with different court houses are ever changing, and it is my job to stay current with any new information that becomes available. This knowledge, as well as my experience in over 2,500 cases, provides my clients with the type of unmatched, quality defense that they deserve. My clients come from many areas of Orange County, including Garden Grove, Anaheim, Yorba Linda, Orange, Santa Ana, Huntington Beach, Irvine, Newport, Tustin, Westminister, Costa Mesa and more.

Many clients have difficulty reaching their attorney after the attorney has been retained. I advise each of my clients the best possible time to reach me, and I set aside time each day to be available to answer questions. I will always return calls by the end of the day.

I understand the repercussions of a sex crime conviction. I understand how prospective jurors view sex offenders, so it is up to me to come up with a defense that shatters any bad image of you. I know what to look for when reviewing your file in order to build a solid defense. I have the skill and the knowledge to support you in court even if the prosecution has witnesses on their side.

When dealing with a criminal offense, you need someone who will fight for your rights with enthusiasm, knowledge and integrity. You need someone who will stand in your corner and exercise assertive behavior when dealing with the demands of the court. I understand the importance of being prepared. With 27 years of experience, I am not afraid to fight for you in situations that most attorneys refuse to deal with, and I recognize the difference between each court house in Orange County, and I have known many of the judges and prosecutors for years.

Experienced Trial Attorney

As an attorney who has personally tried many cases in court, I understand the stress that can occur with having to go to trial. Because of my experience in this area, I am willing to do the work that many other attorneys are not in order to try cases in court. I will use all tools available to me so that my clients and I can stand strong in a very emotional time. I am not afraid to work hard and fight for the rights of my clients.

Availability

Since a DUI, drug charge, or any other kind of criminal charge can occur at any hour, day or night, I find it is important that my clients are able to reach me any time. Many law firms only operate during normal business hours. As most people know, life does not only happen during these times. Before and after business hours, I am readily available to my clients, and easy to reach by phone. I handle all of my cases personally, which means that I am there with my clients the whole way through. It is also important that my clients are able to contact me in a timely manner because there are deadlines that must be adhered to, and as an experienced and available attorney I am aware of these deadlines.

I alone handle every aspect of my client's case, which eliminates the valuable time that is wasted getting the run-around from people who do not have any knowledge about the case. In many other law firms, the client is passed around from attorney to attorney, and possibly even an intern. When you call for me, it is me you will speak with. What good is an attorney whom you are unable to reach?

My many years of practice in this area of the law have prepared me for your case. By law, you have the right to an attorney. You have the right to hire someone who understands the law and your rights. Choose correctly, call Barney B. Gibbs today.
