Manhattan / NYC Legal Defense for Soliciting or Trafficking
If you are accused of hiring a prostitute or engaging in human trafficking, you face likely prison time, a lasting criminal record, damage to your reputation and all the consequences of registering as a sex offender. A proactive defense may avoid or downgrade these penalties and avoid the adverse publicity, which can destroy reputations and family relationships.

Experienced Defense for Prostitution Crimes
Peter Brill is a former Nassau County prosecutor with a decade of experience in criminal defense. He and the rest of our legal team provide savvy representation in cases involving:
- Soliciting the services of a prostitute
- Promoting or compelling prostitution
- Engaging in prostitution
- Online solicitation of teenagers for sex
Patronizing a prostitute is normally a misdemeanor offense. But if you are accused of having sex with an underage prostitute, even if you didn't know she (or he) was underage, it can be a first or second degree felony which requires sex offender registration. Sex trafficking is also a major felony under recently enacted law, punishable by up to 25 years in prison.
In defense of clients, we examine every aspect of a sting operation or circumstances of the arrest. Did any sexual acts occur? Is there any evidence of an agreement for money or actual transaction? Was it a consensual hook-up rather than sex for money? Were you baited into a meeting by an undercover officer posing as a prostitute? Were you deceived about the actual age of the girl or boy?
Our goal is to avoid a conviction, and especially to avoid felony charges, prison, sex offender registry and embarrassing publication of your name and photo in connection with prostitution.
