Child Molestation Defense

Child molestation cases are serious allegations that carry dramatic legal consequences, including lengthy prison terms, fines, and mandatory registration as a sex offender under Megan’s Law. These cases can severely affect an individual’s professional and personal life. 

Defending against these accusations involves meticulous examination of evidence and scrutiny of every detail to confront any misinterpretations or emotionally driven claims. 

Several factors frequently form credible defenses in child molestation cases:

  • Mistaken identity: Errors in identification due to poor visibility or brief interactions can lead to wrongful accusations. Humphrey & Thompson investigates alibis and challenges the reliability of such claims. 
  • False accusations: Motivations such as anger or manipulation can lead to baseless allegations. We analyze the credibility and intent of the accuser. 
  • Lack of evidence: A case built on weak or circumstantial elements can be dismantled, exposing holes in the prosecution’s claims. 
  • Misinterpretation of actions: Innocent behavior is sometimes misunderstood or twisted out of context. Humphrey & Thompson works tirelessly to clarify and explain intentions. 
  • Forensic evidence challenges: If forensic science is involved, we evaluate the accuracy of the testing and question its interpretation.

Humphrey & Thompson approaches every case methodically, challenging allegations and helping clients understand their legal rights and options. We are committed to building a solid defense to protect your freedoms and mitigate the impact on your life.

    “They treated us with respect and protected my dignity.”

    Mr Humphrey and his staff we nothing short of amazing to me and my family. 

    - Jason G.
    “As soon as we hired this law firm everything changed.”
    Needed a lawyer for our juvenile son for a felony assault case. Public defender was not very helpful and told us that at best our son would be on a very intensive probation for years if not sentenced to a camp. Rob Singh took our case and basically got everything resolved outside of court with the prosecutor within 2 weeks. Alleviated a lot of stress and anxiety by getting our son on a very minimal probation for 6 months and then records completely sealed. Highly recommended and would definitely hire this firm again.
    - Erik S.
    “Humphrey and Thompson are exceptional in criminal defense cases.”

    They were very straightforward about the possible outcomes and always seemed to be one step ahead in planning our defense strategy. The paralegal staff was also courteous and prompt in their responses, which made the whole stressful process much more bearable. I am profoundly grateful for their services. the Martinez Lugo family we loved them we really recommended thanks so much :)

    - Cesar M.
    “I’m thankful and appreciative of them for fighting for my son!!”

    IF you are caught in a bad situation in life and are looking for a Lawyer and investigator to fight, do their job well in fighting to prove your innocence in your case, you need Kyle and Victor on your side!!!

    - Rena B.
    “Beyond impressed with the expertise and professionalism shown on behalf of Humphrey and Thompson.”

    The process was easy and they made it so that I didn't have to appear in court. I highly recommended them!

    - Aimee G.
    “Kyle is knowledgeable and an awesome attorney.”

    His experience and knowing what to do helped and he has wisdom in sharing and saying the right thing to calm you in whatever you are going through. At times I was talked to as if I knew the law but when questioned what he was talking about he would take the time to explain. He is a very busy man so it seemed like he was hurried but would come back to explain. Happy with the outcome and glad that we were able to find a great attorney.

    - Joe S.
    “Do yourself a huge favor and hire this man!!!”

    Jared and his staff, not exaggerating were on top of it all. If I called to talk to the girls in the front they handled everything right away, Jared reputation for being THE BEST matched him perfect. We had issues with the anger management classes and the staff really cared and helped us. Jared helped my son who was facing some serious charges but he genuinely cared about the whole truth and we got blessed tremendously! we are forever grateful and truly couldnt have imagined the outcome had we NOT hired him! Loved them thank you so much sincerely!

    - Former Client
    “I appreciate his efforts in sealing the case, keeping it off public record.”

    I’d like to express my sincere gratitude to Kyle Humphrey at Humphrey & Thompson for his help with an unexpected case. He was highly thorough and made sure I understood every part of the process, which was especially important as this was my first and only legal matter. Many thanks to you and your team!
