Conom Law Firm

Can you go to prison for a crime you didn't actually do? 😳👇
Think you're safe just because you stayed home? Think again. 🛑
Washington State criminal defense lawyer Derek Conom (serving Snohomish County & the greater Seattle/King County area) breaks down the terrifying reality of criminal conspiracy laws—and how you can face the exact same harsh penalties as a primary offender.
How does this happen under Washington State law? ⚖️
• Accomplice Liability: Planners, lookouts, and getaway drivers face the exact same charges as the person holding the weapon.
• Agreement & Intent: All the law requires is an agreement to commit a crime and the intent for it to happen.
• The "Substantial Step": The crime doesn't even have to be completed. If just one person buys a ski mask, everyone in the plan can be charged.

Is Urinating in Public a S*x Offense? Washington State Laws Explained ⚖️

If you're in Washington State, you might be surprised at how much the laws change just by crossing a county line. In this video, Criminal Defense Lawyer Derek Conom of Conom Law Firm breaks down the legal consequences of urinating in public and addresses a common fear: Does it lead to s*x offender registration? From Seattle civil infractions to Snohomish County jail time, Derek clarifies what you need to know about Washington State's varying local laws.

Could a simple mistake in public lead to a lifetime on a s*x offender registry?
• Local Variations: Every city and county in Washington has its own rules. In Seattle, it’s a civil infraction ($500 fine), but in Snohomish County, a first offense is a misdemeanor.
• The "Indecent Exposure" Risk: If the act is deemed intentional and likely to cause "reasonable alarm," it can be charged as indecent exposure, carrying up to 364 days in jail.
• Registration Requirements: While repeat indecent exposure can lead to prison time, Derek explains why Washington law currently does not require s*x offender registration for these specific cases.

Prostitution Laws are Changing in Washington: What You Need to Know

The legal landscape surrounding the s*x trade in Washington State has seen a massive shift over the last 25 years. In this video, Criminal Defense Lawyer Derek Conom explains how the law is moving away from charging individuals offering services and is instead cracking down on the "demand" side of the industry. Whether it’s a misdemeanor or a 10-year felony, the consequences in Washington are serious.

How does Washington State classify these crimes?
• Prostitution: Historically a misdemeanor punishable by up to 90 days in jail, though the courts are increasingly treating these individuals as victims.
• Patronizing a Pr******te: Since 1988, simply requesting s*xual conduct for money is enough for a customer to be charged with a misdemeanor.
• Promoting Prostitution: A high-level felony for those trafficking or profiting from others, carrying a penalty of up to 10 years in prison.
