Defending Against Sex Crime Charges Georgia
Our sex crimes lawyers prepare every case for trial. We start by learning as much as possible about you and the circumstances of your case. We investigate the officers, evidence, and witnesses to build a strong legal and factual trial defense for the jury. Our experience as former prosecutors enables us to learn the weaknesses in the evidence the state is using to try to convict you. We consult with experts in psychosexual evaluations and polygraph testing. Whenever possible, we work to get cases dismissed and charges reduced prior to going to court.
