Whether you have been accused of sexual battery, solicitation to meet a minor, prostitution, child pornography, or any other sex-related offense, sex crimes are the most socially stigmatizing crimes today. Although every person is innocent until proven guilty under the law, many people look at it just the opposite - you are guilty until proven innocent. It is an unfortunate fact, however you must work with a capable and aggressive Eustis sex crimes attorney if you have been arrested or are under investigation for a sex crime. One thing you want to avoid is cooperating with police, as doing so is virtual suicide. Law enforcement will use anything you say against you, although police will act as though they are your friend and trying to help. Don’t believe it. Contact Adams & Luke now, before you take any other action.
It is astounding the number of people who sit behind prison bars today accused of sex-related crimes they did not commit. While these types of offenses are punished severely, it is all too easy for an innocent person to be falsely accused. Those found guilty may be sentenced to a few years in prison, or a few decades. Even worse for many is that fact they are labeled a sex offender, and shunned by society. Registered sex offenders face extreme difficulty when it comes to employment, housing, and other aspects of their lives. It is literally a life sentence.
With more than 30 years of combined experience, Adams & Luka has successfully represented clients charged with a wide array of sex crimes including, but not limited to:
Any individual convicted of a sex crime charged as a felony will be required to register as a sex offender for life, and comply with registration laws not only in Florida, but throughout the U.S. Prison time is mandatory as well, and the time served will depend on the specific offense as well as other factors such as criminal history. Probation is another penalty which imposes a curfew, restricts where you may choose to live, and more. Essentially, the more severe the crime you are accused of committing, the harsher the penalties.
Other than homicide offenses, sex crimes are some of the most serious, and punished harshly.

I would like thank my attorney Thomas Luka. I knew from the beginning I had the right guy in my corner. While celebrating with family and friends at a Public Park in Seminole County, a fight broke out among various people. Myself, and a good friend, broke up the fight and the instigators left. Six months later, I was wrongly accused as the person who started the fight. The first attorney I hired could not even get a response from the State Attorney handling the case. Someone referred me to Tom and I felt comfortable at his demeanor and reactions.
After conversations with Tom, who knew I would settle for nothing less than a FULL DISMISSAL due to my innocence, I hired him. His firm of Adams and Luka did the due diligence by interviewing witnesses and the police who were on the scene, as well as starting a dialogue with the State Attorney. After gathering statements from witnesses, Tom was able to present a strong argument on my behalf to the State Attorney on why the case should be dismissed. If the State Attorney was not willing to dismiss the case, Tom was ready to take the case to trial.
The result by Thomas Luka: Case Dismissed.
I am 53 years old with a spotless record and glad to keep it that way thanks to the time, effort, hard work, and professionalism of the Adams and Luka and Tom Luka.
