If you have been charged with a sex crime, no doubt you are frightened and uncertain about your future and freedom. Any accusation related to sexual assault, rape, child pornography or molestation, or other sex-related offense should be taken seriously, as these allegations can affect your reputation for the rest of your life, leaving you facing not only criminal penalties if convicted, but the social stigma attached to these types of offenses.

At Adams, Luka, & Benton, we bring years of experience and skill to the table for our clients, fighting vigorously to obtain good results.
Prosecutors are relentless and aggressive in their efforts to convict those accused of committing sex crimes. Ironically, many who are accused are innocent and have been wrongly accused.

We are aggressive in our efforts not only to protect your freedom, but your reputation and future as well.

I would like thank my attorney Thomas Luka. I knew from the beginning I had the right guy in my corner. While celebrating with family and friends at a Public Park in Seminole County, a fight broke out among various people. Myself, and a good friend, broke up the fight and the instigators left. Six months later, I was wrongly accused as the person who started the fight. The first attorney I hired could not even get a response from the State Attorney handling the case. Someone referred me to Tom and I felt comfortable at his demeanor and reactions.
After conversations with Tom, who knew I would settle for nothing less than a FULL DISMISSAL due to my innocence, I hired him. His firm Adams, Luka, & Benton did the due diligence by interviewing witnesses and the police who were on the scene, as well as starting a dialogue with the State Attorney. After gathering statements from witnesses, Tom was able to present a strong argument on my behalf to the State Attorney on why the case should be dismissed. If the State Attorney was not willing to dismiss the case, Tom was ready to take the case to trial.
The result by Thomas Luka: Case Dismissed.
I am 53 years old with a spotless record and glad to keep it that way thanks to the time, effort, hard work, and professionalism of Adams, Luka, & Benton.
