Los Angeles Sex Crimes Attorney Debra S. White
Protecting your freedom, your reputation, and your future
Sex Crimes Defense in Los Angeles and Van Nuys Courts
A sex-offense accusation carries a unique stigma—and the damage often starts immediately. One allegation, whether a misdemeanor, a complex multi-victim felony, or even a matter that never results in formal charges, can threaten a person’s freedom, reputation, career, family relationships, and future opportunities long before the first court date.
Debra S. White Criminal Defense Specialists is led by Debra S. White, a California State Bar Board-Certified Specialist in Criminal Law with extensive experience litigating and trying sex-crime cases in both state and federal court. She handles these matters with discretion and seriousness, focused on what the evidence actually shows—and what the government can truly prove.
Her approach is meticulous and trial-oriented: scrutinizing forensic findings, exposing investigative shortcuts, challenging credibility and memory issues, and—when appropriate—working with experts in forensic psychology, false-accusation dynamics, memory reliability, and digital evidence. The objective is straightforward: identify weaknesses early, confront unreliable testimony and forensic claims, and fight for the client’s liberty, reputation, and future.
When everything is on the line, Debra S. White delivers discreet, strategic, and relentless defense against sex crime allegations — with unmatched skill and commitment

Should I talk to the police?
No. Politely decline to answer questions and ask for your attorney. Even casual statements can be used against you.

Innocent people are accused. We act fast to gather physical, digital, and testimonial evidence to prove your innocence.
Do I have to register as a sex offender?
It depends on the charge and outcome. Some clients qualify for relief under Penal Code §290.5 or after a waiting period.
Will my case go public?
