Lewd Conduct/Indecent Exposure

Los Angeles Lewd Conduct Lawyer

In recent years, police entrapment actions in the Los Angeles area have lured many people into compromising situations, leading to arrest on indecent exposure or lewd conduct charges. These criminal charges can carry penalties which can potentially include jail time, a hefty fine, community service, and an order to stay away from the location where the arrest occurred. In addition, the arrested man can suffer from feelings of embarrassment and fear that the arrest will become known to family, neighbors, and co-workers.

Depending on the circumstances of your case however, it may be possible to obtain a dismissal of the charge or a reduced charge—one that does not carry the same penalties or social stigma as does a lewd conduct or indecent exposure charge.

These cases have unique characteristics, and there are specific provisions of California law which apply. For this reason, it is essential that you obtain representation by a defense lawyer experienced in such cases. Contact us now at 323.464.6700 for a free consultation.

Resolving the Problem in the Most Positive Manner Possible

If you are arrested for indecent exposure or a public sex act, you should not admit to anything before you have spoken with a knowledgeable attorney. Nor should you plead guilty thinking that you can put the event behind you and move on. A conviction on these charges can have ramifications far beyond the immediate charge, including damage to your career or your immigration status.

Attorney Jonathan Franklin understands your distress in this situation. Our firm will provide a resolute defense designed to resolve the matter in the most positive manner possible.

The best outcome is to obtain a dismissal of the charge. There may be numerous legal grounds on which a dismissal can be achieved, and Mr. Franklin will explore all of these possibilities. Depending on your circumstances, it may also be possible to negotiate a reduced charge which does not carry the same social stigma as an indecent exposure or a lewd conduct charge, such as a charge of disturbing the peace or disorderly conduct.

A man who has been arrested for these charges can quite naturally feel a sense of violation and injustice. But the societal and political issues raised by your arrest must be resolved in a different place, at a different time. You need to focus on the immediate effect that the charge has on your life. The Law Offices of Jonathan Franklin will work to deal effectively with the problem and to achieve the most positive outcome possible in your situation.
