False Allegations of Child Sexual Abuse

Houston Child Sexual Abuse Lawyer — 20 Years’ Experience

As an experienced criminal defense legal team, we know that good people are often wrongly accused of crimes they did not commit. Upstanding men and women often find that their reputations are at stake due to false allegations of child sexual abuse. At the Law Offices of Ned Barnett, we work hard to fight allegations, protecting our clients from the stigma of sexual offenses.

When Lies Occur

Many child sexual abuse claims have no witnesses, so trials are won on the strength of other evidence and on the credibility of the parties. Because of the nature of the crime, false accusations can and do occur, and it can be difficult to defend against the charges.

Child sexual abuse allegations often arise during divorces or child custody battles. Sometimes, parents knowingly make deceitful allegations in order to gain leverage in these legal proceedings. Vindictive parents may influence children by urging them to lie or even making accusations that lead to the creation of false memories.

The Law Offices of Ned Barnett protects clients through in-depth preparation in child sex abuse cases. We learn about the child accuser, the parents’ roles and the family dynamics. We use this information to explain false sex abuse allegations, clearing your good name in front of judges and juries through effective trial work.

This approach has helped us gain a tremendous record of success in child sex abuse cases. Our founding attorney and former federal prosecutor, Ned Barnett, uses more than 20 years of experience in the practice of law to create favorable results for clients.
