SEX CRIME CHARGES
Sex offenses are among the most serious felony crimes in North Carolina. Sex-crime cases often generate publicity and evoke strong public emotions, and prosecutors are extremely motivated to secure convictions. False allegations of sexual abuse can destroy a person's family, reputation, and livelihood, even if the allegations are later found to be not credible. If you are convicted of a sexual-related offense, you could face the possibility of significant prison time. You could also be required to register as a sex offender, or even be forced to wear a GPS satellite monitor for the rest of your life. If your case is selected for prosecution in federal court, the consequences can be even more severe.
If you are being investigated for allegations of sexual misconduct, or if police have served a search warrant at your home or office seeking evidence of pornography or other offenses, you need to contact a lawyer immediately. If you have actually been charged with a sex crime, or if you have already been convicted of a sex offense, you need strong and effective legal counsel and you need it now.

Dan Blau is a wonderful attorney. He was on our side from the beginning. He continually kept us informed. He did such a great job fighting for my Uncle's freedom. HE WON OUR APPEAL and helped reduce my uncle's sentence from 30 years to max 5 years. I highly recommend him.

WE WON OUR APPEAL THANKS TO DAN BLAU
My wife received a citation in an accident, and Dan took care of everything, getting the ticket dismissed. I've referred several friends and clients of mine to him and have always gotten great feedback from them.

Great Job Handling Ticket
Dan went above and beyond handling my case: Assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, inflicting serious injury. He kept me informed every step of the way, got me in contact with a private investigator and even had the news groups remove my address from their websites. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, my case was dismissed!

Dismissed!!!
I hired Dan Blau after I lost my case in the Supreme Court of North Carolina. He explained that we had a chance to win my case on a motion for appropriate relief. They are generally difficult to win but he was able to get all of my convictions overturned and dismissed. He was always great about keeping me updated and informed. I highly recommend him!
