Cold Spring, NY Criminal Defense Law Firms & Lawyers

Your friend is in a bad position. Depending in what state this is from, he could be facing multiple counts of child molestation, end up in state prison and be labeled a sex offender for the rest of their life. Time for your friend to sit down face to face with the best local defense attorney they can find.

A home can be searched without a warrant if a valid exception to the warrant requirement applies. It is unclear whether or not that is the case from your question since much more detail would be needed. Have a criminal attorney carefully review the reports to determine if there was a Fourth Amendment violation or not.

If you are having difficulty reaching your attorney be sure to make a good effort to get in touch with them. Call, write, and visit the office if necessary. If you are still unsuccessful in communicating with them contact a local attorney in your area and discuss having them take over your case. Your current attorney is required to provide you with a copy of your file in a timely manner if you request it from them and you will be able to turn the case over to your new attorney and have them enroll as counsel on your case. Before hiring a new attorney, be sure that you do all that is necessary to attempt to contact your current attorney.
