Sex offense defense
These cases are tried in public long before they reach a courtroom, and the consequences extend well past sentencing.
Sex offense allegations arrive with consequences that other charges do not carry: registration requirements that restrict where a person may live and work, employment consequences, and community notification. Those consequences can outlast any sentence, which is why the defense of the charge and the defense of the registration consequences have to be considered together from the beginning.
The evidence in these cases is often the testimony of a single witness, sometimes a child, sometimes an adult reporting conduct from years earlier. That does not make the case unwinnable. It does make the details of how the allegation was elicited, when it was reported, and what changed between accounts the central material of the defense, and it requires careful and disciplined handling rather than a contest of credibility alone.
The firm also handles forensic questions, including how interviews were conducted and how physical evidence was tested and interpreted.
The firm's work in this area includes federal charges, where sentencing exposure is severe, as well as Georgia state prosecutions.
