Practice Areas Description

- Sex Crimes

Few crimes carry the stigma associated with them as does a sex crime against a minor. Under Arizona law, a person convicted of a sex crime like sexual assault, faces mandatory minimum jail sentences. If facing a misdemeanor or felony sex crimes charge, call the Phoenix, Arizona, Law Offices of Howard A. Snader, LLC at (480) 559-8218.


- Child Pornography

Possession of child pornography, also called the sexual exploitation of a minor, is a serious criminal charge. Under Arizona law, you face a minimum of ten years in prison for each picture of child porn you are convicted of possessing. A sex crime against a child is unique to any other criminal charge. Besides the criminal penalties you face, you also face the stigma placed on you by society. Attorney Harold Snader has over twenty years of experience dealing with child pornography charges.


- Sex Crimes Against Children

When charged with or under investigation for a sex crime against a child, like molestation, sexual assault, misconduct, indecent exposure, or sexual abuse, you should not speak to the police or anyone except your attorney about your case. Using deceptive tactics, the police may attempt to obtain a confession from you during a confrontation call before you have even been charged. Arizona has some of the harshest criminal sentences for sex offenders in the country. An experienced attorney will serve as a roadblock against over zealous prosecutors and a criminal justice system biased against sex offenders.


- Child Protective Services

Before being formally charged by the police, you may face an investigation by the Children's Protective Services (CPS). After a child or parent makes an allegation of sexual misconduct against you, CPS will call you to question you about the conduct. The investigation of an allegation by CPS is a critical stage of your case. Attorney Harold Snader can represent you during CPS hearings and advise you about the investigation process. Not speaking with an attorney before a CPS investigation leaves you at risk of being charged with a sex crime against a child; losing your parental rights; the inability to go back to your residence; and losing contact with all under age children.

- Child Abuse

The key to a successful defense against a charge of child abuse involves the use of qualified and credible experts. The two most important experts we employ in a sex crimes case are psychologists and experts in computer forensics. An attorney also needs to be able to impeach the credibility of the state's experts.


- False Allegations

Many people blindly believe the false allegations of a child accusing someone of sexual abuse. Why would a child lie about something like that? Well unfortunately, there are people who use children as pawns in their divorce, custody battle, or family dispute. Since society is biased against sex offenders, you face an uphill battle. Defending an individual against false allegations of sexual misconduct against a child is a delicate process. It is important that your attorney has the skill necessary to point out the inaccuracies in the allegations, and not turn the jury against the client. Attorney Snader has almost 20 years of legal experience in this field and can skillfully defend you against unsubstantiated criminal accusations.


- Prostitution

Recent changes makes Arizona's prostitution laws unique compared to others states' laws. In 2006, Arizona began to sentence prostitutes and those soliciting their services to mandatory jail time. While, not technically considered a sex crime, a prostitution charge is a serious crime that may result in a felony or misdemeanor charge. In Arizona, prostitution is defined as "engaging in or agreeing or offering to engage in sexual conduct with another person under a fee arrangement with that person or any other person." The Law Offices of Harold Snader defends alleged prostitutes, people soliciting prostitutes, and owners of bawdy houses.


- Sex Crime Trials

Perhaps no other criminal trial carries with it the stigma that a trial for a sex crime against a child does. Sex crime trials are won or lost most times before the trial begins. With motions to exclude evidence and depositions to determine the evidence in the case, a successful trial attorney is thorough from the minute you walk in the door until the appeals are completed. Employing the use of some of the best experts in forensic science and psychology to defend you can make all the difference.

- Sex Crime Sentencing

Upon the unfortunate situation of your conviction for a sex crime against a minor, your face another proceeding to sentence you. Called a pre-sentence investigation, this investigation examines your criminal background, seriousness of the charge, your propensity to recommitment, and the likelihood of successful rehabilitation. The Law Offices of Harold Snader employ some of most credible experts to argue for the lightest sentence possible.


- Sex Offender Registration

Under Arizona law, sex offender registration is mandatory for every felony conviction and is discretionary for a misdemeanor conviction. Sex offender registration imposes certain registrations requirements on sex offenders. Call an attorney of the Phoenix, Arizona, Law Offices of Howard A. Snader, LLC at (480) 559-8218 to learn more about sex offender registration and to advise you of your continuing obligations.
