Charged with Prostitution in Miami, FL?

Miami Prostitution Defense Lawyer

There is a great amount of pressure on law enforcement to eradicate prostitution and sex trafficking by "busting" prostitution establishments, pimps and other involved individuals. If a police officer is undercover the arrest may occur immediately upon agreement as to the price, or the officer may wait intending to apprehend and shut down the entire prostitution ring.

Generally both the prostitute and the customer are arrested along with anyone else who might be present and seem to the officer to be involved. This can have disastrous consequences on an innocent bystander who happens to be in the area. Regardless of your involvement or lack of involvement, if you have been arrested on a prostitution charge you need an experienced defense lawyer who is intimately familiar with the prosecution of these cases.
