Removal from Registry

Is there any way after being convicted and doing the time sentenced to be removed from the sex offender registry? the offense was 288(a). The person was only able to have a Public defender and does not feel that they were given adequate defense. What can we do to get it either

Re: Removal from Registry

Yes, but only with a court order that would be be difficult and costly to obtain, if at all, and requires a substantial showing of evidence to convince a judge to do so. There is no assurance of success in this, even in the best of circumstances. If you're serious and willing to do so, feel free to contact me.

It can be done. I have personally helped one in a similar situation. It cost $ 25K in legal fees for the motion work. Contact me directly.

There is no way to be removed from the registry.

If the person who was convicted believes that he did not have an adequate defense, I believe he can appeal. I don't handle appellate work, so I don't know for sure, but I'm pretty sure he can appeal on the gounds of ineffective assistance of counsel.
