Marietta Rape Defense Lawyer

Cobb County Georgia Sexual Assault Attorney

If you have been accused of, or charged with rape, the attorney you hire to guide and represent you makes a big difference. Why? Because there are so many variable factors such what a jury will believe, what evidence can be presented, and the widely varying outcomes.

We understand that you may feel worried about the possibility of being sent to prison and other consequences. Georgia has some of the harshest penalties in the nation, for rape. You could be required to register as a sex offender permanently, and face the scrutiny of neighbors and associates. Contact a Marietta rape defense attorney.

Consent

When the parties know each other, the case often comes down to "he said, she said." Intimate conversations are not recorded or documented so consent can't be proved or disproved easily. Testimony may or may not be believed by a jury. Our attorneys know how to cross-examine witnesses, how to prepare our clients to testify, and when to put them on the stand or not, for rape defense.

Date rape drugs have become more common in recent years and alcohol is frequently a factor. We are familiar with these cases, as well as statutory rape cases and who may be charged depending on the parties' age.

Assault on a Stranger

The issues in cases of rape by a stranger are different. Here identification of the perpetrator is a factor, but DNA testing makes the defense case more challenging. This is an ever-changing area of law, and we remain up-to-date on the options for challenging this and other evidence.

If the state has a strong case against you, negotiating plea may be an option. Contact us to discuss your rape defense in a confidential, no-obligation consultation.
