Once Billy became a Rossen Law Firm Client, We were able to convince the state prosecutor not to file any charges against him. There was an active investigation going on with the intent of charging Billy with Lewd & Lascivious Molestation criminal charges; but as a result of our criminal defense work – the investigation was stopped and Billy was never even arrested.
Billy was able to move forward and put this horrible experience behind him. Because Billy hired us right away – he doesn’t have a criminal record due to this false allegation.
Tip: If you become aware that you’re being investigated for a crime, it’s best to call a criminal defense attorney immediately. In Florida, you have a criminal record the moment you’re arrested. If Billy had been arrested, and we did the work to prove he was not guilty – the arrest would have likely still shown on his criminal record even though he was found innocent.
Billy’s life was turned upside down. He had just lost his father, finished a long battle in probate court, and was now being accused of a horrible crime.
He was afraid of what this false accusation would do to his reputation, and to his job.
Here’s the background to Billy being investigated for Lewd & Lascivious Molestation: When Billy’s father passed away, he left a lot of money and property to Billy and Billy’s mother.
His father had another son from his first marriage, but did not leave anything to that first son or his first wife. The two of them went to probate court to fight it out, but the judge ruled in favor of Billy and his mom.
His half-brother was upset by the verdict and became unstable. It was then that he called the police and accused Billy of molesting him 10 years ago when they were both teenagers. Then, one day the cops showed up at Billy’s place of work to question him.
Billy was freaked out and embarrassed. He decided to hire an attorney right away, and a good friend recommended us to him.
We decided that, in this case, the best thing was to show police that Billy had nothing to hide. We spent six months demonstrating to the police that the accusations against Billy were false.
Part of this included having Billy give police a statement, and us providing documentation of his brother’s motivation to lie.
