Mr. Fischetti came highly recommended and rightfull so. Aside from being a phenomenal attorney, Mr. Fishchetti alleviated my concerns and assured me the most aggressive representation possible. He not only honored his promise, but exceeded my expectations by getting my case dismissed and even getting me the immediate documentation I needed to move on with my life and finally put this nightmare behind me. Thank you Daniel Fischetti, I am forever indebted to you.

I wish I can give zero stars, extremely disappointed with the negligible amount of work put in my case by James.
It was disappointing that nothing was sent out to the State for a month, causing unnecessary delays. No efforts for negotiations were made.
HORRIBLE SERVICE!! He misguided me that if I will go to pretrial or deposition, PTI will be off the table, which was not TRUE!! He wanted easy money without putting any work or effort. He made it very clear that state will NOT drop the charges.
Ultimately, I switched to a female attorney (different firm) who effectively managed my case, she fought for me until the very end. Onboarding her was a game changer and eventually the case was dismissed and charges were dropped prior even heading to the first court hearing.

Robert Sparks Attorneys are getting 5 stars because i can't give them 6. The professionalism of staff, the promptness of responses to questions, and the overall guidance through the process after my accident was astounding. Rob and Garrett were absolutely AMAZING.

Leslie Sammis robbed me of 10k. She knew I was in a desperate/vulnerable position and talked me into wiring her for a 10k “fee” not a retainer. Now that I know the game I would not recommend her.

My younger family member suffered terrible treatment at the hands of TPD when he called 911 from his home. Attorney Leslie Sammis came highly recommended and I reached her by calling her cell phone. She spent time talking both with me and then my family member. She was extraordinarily informative, patient and supportive. If you ever need help with a juvenile, call her! Thank you, Leslie from a former AUSA!

Mark, Jeanette and his team were nothing short of impeccable throughout my entire case. They both stood ready to answer my questions at any time and always did so promptly. Mark assured me before retaining him that he would be able to have my charges reduced to a lesser charge and did exactly that. If you’re in a jam, this is the team you want on your side.

Mr. O’Brien and his team is out standing!!! The professionalism and the sense of care and ownership they possess during my case was top-tier!!! As a first time of getting into trouble with anything legal I came across a lot of lawyers in the area and none of them by far stood out to me as much as Mr. O’Brien team, especially Jeanette. She was definitely heaven sent and vouch for me as a stranger for Mr. O’Brien to take on my case. From that moment on, I knew that I was in great hands, and as the case ended, the results definitely proved that I was in the right hand!!! I would refer this law off to anyone that needs legal advice on anything that Mr. O’Brien is expertise in. Everyone that I came in contact with in the office made me feel like family reassured me that I was in great hands and that they will do everything that they could to get me my desired results. Hopefully, I won’t ever have to see them again, but I do really appreciate everything that everyone has done in the office and I wish you all the best and great prosperity!!! God bless!!!

I went to O'Brien Hatfield with the most important mission that I had ever needed to accomplish. I was scared, physically sick, and clueless as to how to proceed. After just the first time speaking to them, I knew everything would be ok. From the start I trusted them wholeheartedly. They were always there, even if I texted late in the evening asking advice outside the realm I had first sought them out for. Really, everyone a part of O'Brien Hatfield is lovely and kind. Most of all though they have a fierceness and intelligence that gives you peace of mind in knowing you have chosen the right people to succeed with what you need done. I will be grateful to them for all of time. Most of all I want to mention Jeanette. She was my go to and it really meant a lot to me that she was there.

What a Sex Crime Lawyer Can Do for You
A sex crime lawyer specializes in defending individuals accused of sexual offenses, which can include charges such as sexual assault, rape, indecent exposure, child pornography, solicitation, and other related crimes. Being charged with a sex crime carries severe legal and social consequences, including potential imprisonment, mandatory registration as a sex offender, fines, and long-term stigma. A sex crime lawyer has the expertise to navigate the complex legal system, protect your rights, and develop a strategic defense to achieve the best possible outcome for your case.
When Should I Hire a Sex Crime Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a sex crime lawyer immediately if:
- You are under investigation: If law enforcement contacts you for questioning or you become aware that you are a suspect in a sex crime investigation, it's crucial to seek legal representation before speaking with authorities.
- You have been arrested or charged: Promptly hiring a lawyer upon arrest or formal charges allows for early intervention in your case, which can be critical for your defense.
- Searches and seizures have occurred: If your property, such as your home or electronic devices, has been searched or seized in connection with a sex crime investigation, a lawyer can help protect your rights.
- You are facing related legal issues: If you're dealing with restraining orders, custody disputes, or other legal matters stemming from the allegations, a lawyer can provide comprehensive legal support.
What Does a Sex Crime Lawyer Do?
A sex crime lawyer provides a range of legal services to defend and support you throughout the legal process:
- Legal consultation and advice: They will explain the charges against you, outline your rights, and advise you on the best course of action.
- Case investigation: The lawyer will conduct a thorough investigation, gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses, and identifying inconsistencies or weaknesses in the prosecution's case.
- Defense strategy development: They will develop a tailored defense strategy, which may include challenging the credibility of evidence, disputing the legality of how evidence was obtained, or presenting alternative explanations.
- Negotiating with prosecutors: Your lawyer can negotiate plea bargains or reduced charges when appropriate, aiming to minimize potential penalties.
- Court representation: They will represent you in all court proceedings, including hearings, trials, and sentencing, advocating on your behalf.
- Protecting your rights: The lawyer ensures that your constitutional rights are upheld throughout the legal process, including protection against unlawful searches, coerced confessions, or violations of due process.
- Post-trial assistance: If necessary, they can assist with appeals, sentence modifications, or matters related to sex offender registration.
How Are Sex Crime Lawyers Paid?
Sex crime lawyers typically charge for their services in one of the following ways:
- Hourly rate: Charging an hourly fee for the time spent working on your case. Rates can vary widely based on the lawyer's experience and location.
- Flat fee: A set amount that covers specific services or the entirety of your case, which can provide cost predictability.
- Retainer fee: An upfront payment from which the lawyer deducts hourly fees and expenses as they work on your case. You may need to replenish the retainer if it is exhausted.
- Payment plans: Some lawyers offer payment arrangements to make their services more affordable over time.
It's important to discuss payment structures and fees during your initial consultation to understand the financial commitment involved.
How Much Does a Sex Crime Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a sex crime lawyer depends on various factors, including the complexity of the case, the severity of the charges, and the lawyer's experience. General cost estimates are:
- Hourly rates: Typically range from $200 to $500 or more per hour.
- Flat fees: For less complex cases, flat fees might range from $5,000 to $25,000.
- Total costs: Complex cases involving extensive investigation or a trial can cost $25,000 to $100,000 or more.
- Additional costs: May include expert witness fees, investigative expenses, and court fees.
Always request a detailed fee agreement and discuss potential additional costs to avoid unexpected expenses.

How to Check the Credibility of a Sex Crime Lawyer

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most of your initial meeting with a sex crime lawyer, bring the following:
- Detailed account of events: Write down everything you remember about the incident, including dates, times, locations, and any conversations.
-
Legal documents: Bring all documents related to your case, such as:
- Arrest records
- Charging documents
- Bail paperwork
- Search warrants
- Any correspondence from law enforcement or the court
- Witness information: Provide names and contact information of any potential witnesses who can support your defense.
- Evidence: Bring any physical evidence or records that may be relevant, such as emails, text messages, or social media interactions.
- List of questions: Prepare questions about your case, the legal process, and the lawyer's experience.
- Honesty: Be prepared to discuss all details openly and honestly; attorney-client privilege ensures confidentiality.
- Goals and objectives: Be clear about what you hope to achieve, whether it's dismissing charges, reducing penalties, or addressing registration as a sex offender.
By being thoroughly prepared, you enable the lawyer to assess your situation effectively and provide the best possible legal advice tailored to your case.
