Prostitution / Solicitation

Criminal Defense for Prostitution and Indecent Exposure Stings

Central Florida is a hot spot for business trips and vacationers. Nightclubs, beaches, entertainment venues: the night life here is unparalleled. Unfortunately, hundreds of people every year are targeted and picked up in police sting operations or by undercover officers and charged with solicitation, assignation, or prostitution.

• Were you approached by someone in person or online who suggested a meeting?
• Did he or she mention sexual terms that caused you to feel uneasy?
• Did he or she put words in your mouth? Suggesting you do things you had not considered or didn't want?

Now you find yourself in a difficult situation, facing criminal charges for prostitution or solicitation, fearful that a simple mistake is going to ruin your marriage, your family, and your job.

This is when you need an aggressive defense team that can tackle your criminal case aggressively but with discretion and sensitivity. At The Umansky Law Firm, we regularly hear from people who were the unsuspecting victims of a sting operation or were misled by an undercover police officer.

Defense Strategies for Undercover Sting Operations

We know how prosecutors prepare solicitation cases and how to challenge evidence when the police conduct a prostitution sting. Our criminal defense lawyers will examine the facts of your case in detail. We will investigate:

• The initial contact with law enforcement-was it legal?
• The arrest-were your rights explained properly?
• The decoy officer-is it the same person who wrote up the report?
• The taping technique-was it recorded loud enough?
• The taping quality-can we really hear what was said?
• The behavior of the police officer-were you convinced to say or do something you wouldn’t normally do?

Whether you are a local resident or a Florida tourist facing prostitution or solicitation charges because you used an escort service or a massage service, our criminal defense attorneys provide an aggressive defense to avoid or minimize the consequences of a criminal conviction.
