Miami Prostitution Lawyer
Legal Defense Against Prostitution Charges in Miami
It is a crime throughout Florida to offer, accept or exchange sexual acts for money. If you are accused of offering sex acts to another person or even of offering money in exchange for sexual acts, you may face misdemeanor charges or even felony charges if you are a repeat offender.
Forcing or compelling another to become a prostitute or engaging in any activity related to sex trafficking, human trafficking, or child prostitution are very serious offenses that will most likely result in felony charges. In some cases, they may even be charged as Federal crimes.

Defense Strategies for Human Trafficking Charges
When a person under the age of 18 is transported across state lines for the purpose of sexual acts, the situation will be addressed in federal court. The sexual exploitation of children for prostitution or human trafficking are matters of extreme interest to federal investigators, particularly in the Miami area.
If you are accused of a federal crime involving prostitution or human trafficking, you must act quickly and engage the services of a high quality, aggressive defense attorney with extensive trial experience. As the penalties in federal court for these crimes are so extensive, immediate defense action must be initiated. The penalties can range from 5 years in prison to up to 30 years, with increased time for repeat offenders.
It is illegal to knowingly rent space to a prostitution activity, to run such a business, to arrange for others to commit acts of prostitution, and to recruit customers, or persons to engage in prostitution. Advertising a completely innocent escort service may result in an undercover investigation. Should an escort cross the line beyond providing pleasant companionship, you may be facing a number of serious criminal charges, especially if a minor is involved.
Understanding Solicitation Charges and Penalties in Florida
The consequences one can face if convicted for solicitation in Florida are particularly harsh. You may be sentenced with up to one year in jail and if a vehicle was used your driver's license will be automatically revoked. Fines and various fees are typically assessed. Your name and picture will be publicized and you will be required to submit to testing for sexually transmitted diseases.
The only possible way you have to make the solicitation charge go away is to fight. With early intervention, before a charge is filed against you, a skilled solicitation defense lawyer at the firm can take immediate action calculated to prevent any charge from being filed at all or to get the prosecutor to reduce the charge.
Proven Defense Against Prostitution Sting Operations
At times, prostitution charges may arise from a police sting operation or a situation where a law enforcement officer is posing as a prostitute in order to entice someone to offer money in exchange for sexual activity.
This walks a fine line as far as what is constitutional, and Attorney Michael Mirer can fully evaluate every single aspect of your case to determine if your rights were violated in any way. This may lead to suppressed evidence or even a dismissed case in some situations.
