Anyone facing sex related charges may also be facing consequences that are life changing. Sex crimes are extremely serious, regardless of whether you live in the central Florida area or anywhere in the U.S. Not only may you face harsh criminal penalties, the stigma associated with these types of offenses is often extremely damaging, and may result in ruined relationships, loss of employment, and more. If you have been accused of sexual battery, child pornography, rape, or any related crime it is vital that you consult with an experienced sex crimes attorney in Tavares immediately. At Adams, Luka, & Benton, we provide exceptional legal guidance to every client, working vigorously to secure the best possible result.
When charged with a felony sex crime, there are penalties you will face if convicted, regardless of the offense. These include registration as a sex offender, prison time, and probation following your release from jail/prison. The length of a prison term and other criminal penalties vary depending on the specific offense a person is charged with. Regardless, the consequences of a conviction for a sex-related crime are obviously life-changing.
With more than 30 years of combined experience, our Tavares criminal defense law firm brings exceptional legal support to our clients; we have successfully defended clients charged with the following crimes as well as others:
Although sex crimes are some of the most serious and even heinous, many innocent people are accused of child molestation, rape, and other offenses. Unfortunately, when there is a lack of physical evidence it is often a case of "he said, she said." Children can be persuaded by adults to say things that are not true. Even in a consensual relationship, one partner may accuse the other of sexual battery or rape, when in fact the sex was agreeable to both parties.
Our thorough understanding of these crimes, how the criminal justice system works, and our skill/experience make it possible for our firm to offer clients unsurpassed legal representation. Prosecutors must prove very specific elements of a crime in order for a defendant to be found guilty. We thoroughly investigate the charges against you, question possible motives of the victim, examine the evidence, and develop a strong, effective defense strategy should your case go to trial. There may also be other legal options available to you, which we explore in-depth.

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.
