Molestation charges
If my relative has been accused of molestation taking place 7 years ago, how much do I need to retain an attorney? How much time might it take to fight the charges?

Re: Molestation charges
The person charged (not you) should start calling criminal defense attorneys in his locality and make appointments for in-person consultations without delay.
Re: Molestation charges
Molestation or rape charges may be brought within six years of the offense since these can carry a sentence of eight or more years. The statute of limitations may, however, be tolled giving the DA more time to bring charges.

He should also talk with a civil attorney, because although a statute of limitations would generally apply, the past few years has had a lot of new law in regards to these charges.
