Committed to Helping You Avoid the Worst Possible Scenario 

While there are no guarantees in criminal defense law, understanding your rights and the legal options available to you can improve your chances when defending yourself from charges of sexual assault, statutory sexual assault or statutory rape.   As a criminal defense attorney with years of experience in our criminal justice system, I understand how to negotiate with the court, how to identify questionable police conduct and suspicious testimony, and prevent clients from making certain kinds of mistakes.  

When evidence and guilt is not in question, extenuating circumstances may convince the court to either reduce the charges against you or the sentence you face. As your Sex Crimes, Sexual Assault or Statutory Sexual Assault/Statutory Rape defense lawyer, I work with prosecutors in exploring alternative sentencing options when a plea of "guilty" may be in your best interest. In certain cases where provocation, a medical condition, or alcohol is involved, it may be possible to avoid jail or a heavy fine in exchange for a promise to get counseling, provide community service, and agree to probation.
