The Law Office of Stacie L. Patterson focuses on representing individuals being investigated for or who have been charged with or convicted of a criminal offense, including domestic violence, child pornography, sexual offenses, assault, gang violence, white collar crime and insurance fraud.
- If you are being investigated for violating a criminal statute, you should consult a criminal defense attorney. Ms. Patterson can provide information regarding your rights and assist in gathering information for your defense.
- If charges have been filed, whether felony or misdemeanor, you will surely need a criminal defense attorney to represent you. Ms. Patterson can aggressively represent you by investigating the alleged incident and determining what really happened, bringing motions to suppress the government's evidence, presenting evidence in court, fighting the charges and any allegations such as gang membership, prior convictions, substantial sexual conduct, prior strikes, weapons allegations, out on bail enhancements and amount of loss, all of which may significantly increase the potential sentence a defendant may face.
- If you face sexual offense allegations, you should be represented by an attorney who is familiar with the laws regarding registration and sexually violent predators. Counsel may be able to assist you in avoiding registration or running the risk of being deemed a "Sexually Violent Predator."
- After a person has been convicted of a sexual offense and served a sentence, the government may initiate a special proceeding to have the person declared a "Sexually Violent Predator." Any individual under these circumstances should seek counsel. Ms. Patterson would guide the person to the probable cause hearing, locate knowledgeable experts and assist you in fighting the government's allegations.
