Sex Crimes
As a skilled attorney I can construct a strong defense for you!
Sex crimes are the most difficult cases to defend. States, like Texas, allow a conviction based upon the mere allegation of the complainant, without any forensic or supporting evidence at all, as long as the jury believes the complainant, T.C.C.P. Art. 38.07.
Registration as a sex offender is the modern Scarlet Letter. Compliance with both the Texas State Sex Offender Registration Program, T.C.C.P. Chapt. 62, and the Federal Sex Offender Registration Notification Act, SORNA, 42 U.S.C. §16913(a) & 18 U.S.C. § 2250(a), requirements are onerous and failure to comply can lead to new felony charges.
Loss of reputation, your job, the right to bear arms and even the ability to live with your minor children are the direct consequence of a conviction for a sex related crime.
Whether its a Federal or State case, in the mind of a prospective juror, all sex cases initially involve a instinctive gut reaction that the defendant is guilty and must pay.
Our Firm has years of experience in defending these types of high profile allegations and their collateral consequences. We work hard to insure our clients whole story is seen by the jury, that he or she is viewed as a person, not a monster. Effectively humanizing the client is one of the keys to a successful defense.
Attention to detail, a vast knowledge of the law, extensive background investigation of the alleged complainant and other potential witnesses, superior trial preparation & presentation are the other keys to successful representation.
Serious allegations demand competent and effective representation. The Law Office of Robert H. Featherston provides it! You can find no better Criminal Defense Firm to be your right arm and spokesperson !

Child Pornography
Due to the Internet, allegations of the possession, receipt and distribution of child pornography, materials involving the sexual exploitation of minors and obscene avatars have exploded.
A experienced attorney knows that preservation/admissibility of evidence, conduct of the police, entrapment, fantasy, roll playing accommodation, location, how the alleged CP files got on client’s computer and are the images really CP, are the pillars of a successful defense.
Attorney's who defend these types of cases MUST have expertise in the hardware and software operation of computers to include; operating systems, the seven layers of the OSI model, MAC addressing, TCP/IP addressing, port/firewall/router configurations, hard drive formats, slack space - RAM & Drive, allocated/unallocated HD areas, swap files, file properties, encryption schemes, Hashing, VPN, remote storage. . .
