New York City Sex Offender Registration Act Attorney
Conviction for a sex offense or attempted sex offense can bring many life-changing penalties, including decades or life in prison. For all those who are able to return to free society after such a conviction, the damage that comes with being a registered sex offender is extreme and often irreversible.
The New York State Sex Offender Registry Act (SORA) took effect in 1996, establishing a database to track information on people convicted of a wide range of felonies and misdemeanors. The law has been amended dozens of times since, and today information on all Level 2 and Level 3 sex offenders is readily available to anyone with Internet access.
If you have been charged with a sex crime — or want to help someone who has — and need to discuss your legal options and SORA issues, we encourage you to contact us at Grunwald & Seman, P.C., on Long Island.
