It is fairly common in central Florida and throughout the U.S. for innocent individuals to be accused of sex crimes they did not commit. Sadly, motives such as revenge or jealousy can lead people to fabricate stories; a parent may even coerce a child into saying things that are not true in an effort to secure full custody in a divorce case. Children may lie for many reasons, and adults who are involved in relationships may suddenly decide that the sex they engaged in one evening after having a few drinks at the bar was not consensual, even though at the time it was. These types of cases can be extremely delicate and require a defense lawyer who is experienced and skilled in this area of criminal law.
Our team has provided outstanding legal guidance and representation for clients accused of sex crimes, obtaining good results. With more than 30 years of combined experience, we effectively represent those accused of:
Being charged with child pornography, rape, or an Internet sting is a frightening and stressful experience. What criminal penalties will you face if found guilty, and how will all of this affect your career, freedom, reputation, and family relationships? The criminal penalties a person is subject to depends on the crime committed, criminal history, age of the victim, and other factors. For instance, a conviction for sexual battery or rape may result in 30 years in prison, life in prison, or even the death sentence depending on specific circumstances. All felony sex offenses also leave the defendant labeled a sex offender, as the court orders those who are convicted of felony sex crimes to register as sex offenders for the rest of their lives.

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.
