Solicitation of a Prostitute Defense Attorney

While many believe that solicitation of a prostitute is the "victimless crime," being charged and convicted of this can destroy your life. Solicitation of a prostitute, also known as, patronizing a prostitute, can result in sex offender registration, jail time, and serious consequences. You need to protect your life and career by calling our law firm to speak with an experienced criminal defense attorney.

We have defended numerous clients charged with solicitation of a prostitute. In many cases, our clients are highly respected professionals, business executives, and doctors who were caught by police through a prostitution sting operation. This is when law enforcement pose as prostitutes and then bust the suspect right before anything sexual actually occurs. Often, our clients were arrested the first time in their life. The sex crimes defense lawyers at our law firm have significant experience in successfully helping their discrete clients navigate through these legal murky waters.

Many local prosecutors are now attempting to limit prostitution by actively attacking the "Johns," through the solicitation of a prostitute statute.
