PROSTITUTION - RELATED OFFENSES IN THE STATE OF WASHINGTON

Seattle Prostitution Charges Defense Lawyers  

We value your privacy.

We understand the need for discretion if you are charged prostitution, whether the act of soliciting sexual activity or promoting sexual activity. Even if you face a false accusation, the mere mailing of the notice of your court date can cause serious rifts in interpersonal relationships or, if sent to your employment, uncomfortable conversations about an aspect of your life that should remain private.

At Rhodes & Meryhew, our defense attorney team places your privacy at a premium. We have years of experience working to avoid the filing of charges, making certain that court notices are sent to our office and not your home, aggressively defending against false accusations, and obtaining resolutions that leave your dignity and reputation intact. Throughout the process you will be educated and counseled on what to do to minimize the impact of these types of charges on your life.

If you’ve been arrested or cited, time is of the essence to minimize the impact these charges can have on your personal and professional life. Contact Rhodes & Meryhew today for a free consultation. The following information addresses a couple of the common questions our clients ask when facing these charges.

Can I avoid having court notices of these charges and hearing dates sent to my home or work?

Yes. Our attorneys have lots of experience working with detectives and the courts to redirect any mailings or other contact to our office. In addition, our office will only contact you in manners that you approve, and will not disclose your charges to anyone.

If I’ve been charged with prostitution or promoting prostitution, will I have to register as a sex offender?

No. Neither prostitution nor promoting prostitution is defined as a sex offense under Washington law.
