Offering money or other valuables to another person in exchange for sexual conduct may describe the offense commonly referred to as solicitation or solicitation of prostitution. Although the actual exchange of money may not take place or the sexual act may not be performed a person may still face

We know how to recognize weaknesses in the case against a client and can challenge physical evidence and witness testimony based on procedural violations and infringement upon a client's constitutional rights.
Penalties for Solicitation
Solicitation is generally classified as a misdemeanor offense, but a defendant may face felony charges for a fourth offense of this kind. There are also mandatory minimum terms of imprisonment that the court may impose, ranging from 15 to 60 days in jail depending on whether it is a first, second or third solicitation conviction. These days must be served consecutively and cannot be suspended nor probation granted until the entire sentence is served.
