Have You Been Arrested for Solicitation?
Solicitation for prostitution, often referred to simply as solicitation, involves the act of asking for or encouraging the exchange of sexual services for money. While an arrest for prostitution or solicitation may appear straightforward at first, there are often important constitutional issues and police procedures involved that can lead to a dismissal or reduction of the charges against you. If you or someone you care about has been charged with Solicitation of Prostitution in Las Vegas, the stakes are high.
It is important that you don't delay in speaking with an experienced criminal defense lawyer. Often, law enforcement will want you to make a statement, or provide them with information. However, this is almost never a good idea to do without first consulting with an experienced criminal defense lawyer.
