What is the Adam Walsh Act?

The Adam Walsh Act can prohibit citizens with a sex offense conviction from filing a family-based visa petition. These are usually based on inaccurate beliefs of “once an offender, always an offender ” and not based on scientific data. Still, it becomes the citizen’s burden of proof to show that they are not a threat to the beneficiary of the visa petitioner.

Using multiple measures and testing tools, a valid Sex Offender Risk Evaluation can be used to help support the petitioner’s claim. An assessment cannot prove the innocence or guilt of a person convicted of a sexual offense. However, the science says no one has a zero risk of committing a sexual offense. This assessment, written with documentation of the published scientific data, can help to determine an accurate risk level. This has been used in many Immigration Court cases.

About Me

I regularly conduct Sex Offender Risk Evaluations that provide an understanding of actual risks for a new offense.

For close to 30 Years, I have provided Sexual Risk Evaluations and court testimony across multiple states for Immigration and Criminal Defense Lawyers. I have provided Sexual Risk Evaluations and court testimony for the Federal Bureau of Prisons, The Federal Office of Probation and Parole, and for Department of Corrections.

I believe that my background and my expertise in conducting and explaining pre and post-sentence evaluations can greatly assist you and your client.
