Specialized Autism Criminal Defense Attorneys
Expert Legal Representation for Individuals with Autism Facing Criminal Charges
At Harrington & Mahoney, we are dedicated autism criminal defense attorneys who understand the unique challenges faced by individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in the legal system. We specialize in navigating the complex cases often associated with ASD, such as inappropriate online or offline behavior and other sensitive criminal matters. Unlike many legal professionals, we recognize how a comprehensive understanding of autism can dramatically influence case outcomes. Our experience has helped clients avoid harsh penalties, such as incarceration and sex offender registration, and, in many cases, even prevent criminal convictions altogether.
Expert Autism Defense Legal Services
Led by Mark Mahoney, a renowned autism criminal defense lawyer, our team offers unmatched expertise in defending clients with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). We specialize in cases that intersect ASD with complex criminal charges, including those involving child pornography and other sensitive behaviors. Mark's in-depth knowledge of the legal and social implications of ASD has resulted in numerous legal victories, including case dismissals, diversions from criminal prosecution, and probation terms tailored to individual needs.
Pioneering Asperger's Criminal Defense
Mark Mahoney's groundbreaking article, 'Asperger's Syndrome and the Criminal Law: The Special Case of Child Pornography,' provides key insights into how autism affects legal processes and outcomes. This work has been instrumental in shaping the understanding of ASD within the criminal justice system, leading to more informed decisions by prosecutors, defense attorneys, and judges and contributing to many successful case outcomes.
