Does Mr. Hope have experience prosecuting and defending serious sexual offenses?
Yes! During my tenure with the State Attorney's Office, I was selected by State Attorney Brad King to be Lake County's designated Sexual Battery Prosecutor. During that time, each and every sex-related offense in Lake County was evaluated by me. (Today, with the growth of the County, there are two such Prosecutors.) Moreover, my actual Jury Trial experience, both in prosecuting and defending, includes cases of the highest severity-- such as, Capital Sexual Battery Upon A Child Under 12 Years Of Age (mandatory "Life" sentence if convicted).
Remember: Generally speaking, these are the most serious type of charges to be facing in Florida short of a case involving a death -- and these cases are emotional hand-grenades. If you are accused of such a crime, ask yourself one question; "Is it really wise to shop for a "bargain" when looking for a parachute, a brain surgeon, or competent legal Counsel to defend against a sex-charge?" No. That is why I offer a free, no-obligation, office consultation. |
