If you are accused of failing to register as a sex offender, you face a serious legal challenge. Failure to register as a sex offender is, itself, a third-degree felony, and naturally follows at least one prior criminal conviction. Because rules regarding registration are fairly clear, it can be difficult to obtain leniency from the courts. Therefore, it’s important that you seek legal help following failure-to-register charges.

For experienced legal help regarding the sex offender registry, contact the attorneys of the Orlando, Florida, law firm of Moses and Rooth Attorneys at Law. We understand that the requirement to register with the sheriff’s office and the department of motor vehicles can be confusing, as are registration requirements regarding birth dates, relocations and other factors.
