Sex Crimes & Abuse Allegations

Miami Child Abuse Defense Attorney: Free Consultation 305 670.9919

Immediate legal intervention on behalf of clients throughout South Florida facing abuse allegations and sex crime charges

Allegations of rape, child molestation and other sex crimes in Florida present a unique set of challenges to both attorney and client. These types of charges carry an emotional component that will be exploited by prosecution often regardless of the facts and the law.

After more than thirty years of criminal defense practice, Miami, FL child abuse defense attorney Jeffrey S. Weiner and the legal team at the law offices of Jeff Weiner & Mycki Ratzan have developed a sound, successful approach to sex crime allegations. Our approach ensures that your legal rights are protected and your case tried in the court of law rather than the court of public opinion.

Implications of sexual abuse crime can be devastating to your family and your career, especially when children are involved. Jeff Weiner & Mycki Ratzan work diligently with our criminal defense staff to gather evidence and present a balanced portrait of both case and client during trial and in the media. Jeff Weiner & Mycki Ratzan have significant experience dealing with local and national media and have successfully answered charges for clients in South Florida, nationwide and internationally:

• Rape / ”Date Rape”
• Internet Pornography / Internet Solicitation of a Minor
• Child Molestation / Child Pornography
• Sex Offender registration / Megan’s Law registration
• Sexual Abuse / Assault
• Prostitution / Solicitation: many unsuspecting tourists in South Florida may visit a massage parlor expecting legitimate services only to face solicitation charges when the establishment is revealed as a front for prostitution. Even stopping to assist an individual on the roadway could result in a solicitation charge when a visitor mistakenly stumbles into a police prostitution “sting” operation..

· Sodomy / Indecent Exposure: Jeff Weiner & Mycki Ratzan are proud to represent members of the South Florida GLBT community facing discrimination and arrest through the arbitrary application by law enforcement of outmoded sodomy and decency statutes.

• Domestic Violence / Abuse Allegations: an unfortunate result of domestic disputes is the allegation of domestic abuse or child molestation by one partner seeking the upper hand in divorce or child custody proceedings. Allegations of abuse are a powerful tool used by vindictive spouses and others seeking to damage your personal and professional reputation. In most cases, police are required to make an arrest once the allegation has been made, leaving you confused and frightened about your future. Our staff is trained to recognize these false or retaliatory accusations and is skilled at identifying and exploiting weaknesses in the prosecution’s case against you.
• International Law: Our attorneys regularly represent U.S. citizens and foreign nationals facing charges in state and Federal court as well as extradition hearings worldwide, including Mexico, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Latin America, Europe, Asia and the Caribbean.

Nos Enorgullece Servir a la Communidad Latina: Our full-time staff of forensic interpreters and translators is available around the clock to assist Spanish-speaking clients.
