Common Questions
Sexual Assault Defense Questions
Contact a criminal defense attorney immediately and do not speak to police without legal representation. Anything you say can be used against you, even if you believe you're being helpful. Do not contact the alleged victim or anyone connected to the case. Your attorney will handle all communications and protect your rights from the moment you hire them.
Yes, sexual assault charges can be dismissed if the prosecution lacks sufficient evidence, if evidence was obtained illegally, or if witness testimony is unreliable. We have successfully achieved dismissals by exposing false accusations, challenging DNA evidence, and demonstrating prosecutorial misconduct. Each case depends on its specific facts and evidence.
Sex offender registration is mandatory for most sexual assault convictions in California. However, we fight to avoid conviction entirely through dismissal, acquittal, or negotiating reduced charges that don't require registration. Recent changes to California law have created some opportunities to petition for removal from the registry, which we can discuss based on your specific situation.
Sexual assault cases typically take 6-18 months to resolve, depending on the complexity of evidence and whether the case goes to trial. We work to resolve cases as quickly as possible while ensuring we have time to build the strongest defense. Some cases can be resolved faster through pre-trial motions or negotiations, while complex cases requiring expert witnesses may take longer.
