Sex Offender Registry

Being forced to register as a sex offender can follow a defendant for life.

Denver Sex Offender Defense Attorney Andres R. Guevara understands the life-long stigma that can come with being a registered sex offender. Our firm is dedicated, not only to fighting the criminal charges, but to keeping clients informed about the implications of certain convictions or plea deals.

Too often, prosecutors will overcharge a case and then offer a defendant a plea deal. The defendant, anxious to put the case behind him, is prone to accept - particularly if a substantial reduction in charges and/or no jail time is offered in exchange for a plea. Few consider the sex-offender registration requirements, which can be among the most significant long-term penalties of pleading guilty to certain sex offenses.
