Denver Sex Offender Registry Removal Attorney
Once you have "paid your debt to society" and completed your sentence you would think you could then live a normal life again. Not so if you have been convicted or pled guilty to certain sex charges. Inspired by tragic acts of violence against children, Colorado, along with most other states, has enacted legislation requiring these persons to register as sex offenders for a period of time during and even after the sentence has been completed. During this time, you must register and re-register as a sex offender any time you move. The public will have access to your photograph and criminal history on the Internet during this time and your ability to live a normal life will likely be affected as a result of these requirements. Literally, your life can be ruined as a result of this on-going sex offender registration requirement even if you have completed your sentence.
At Michael T. Kossen, P.C., we can review your case to determine if you qualify for removal and help you remove your name from the registry. If you do not presently qualify for removal, we can help you determine your eligibility date in order that you can plan for removal as soon as you are eligible. Some crimes require as little as five years from the completion of your sentence for you to be eligible for removal.
Even though you may qualify, courts still have some discretion and ultimately make the final decision whether to allow you to no longer have to register. Let us assist you in positioning yourself for a successful removal request. We can help you emphasize and present the things courts are looking for in granting a removal. Do not go it alone and lose your chance to get on with your life without the constant invasion into your privacy and the burdensome requirements of registration.
