Defending Against Sex Crimes in Pennsylvania and New Jersey

Time is critical when defending against sex crime allegations. Taking swift action allows us to collect evidence, interview witnesses, and build a robust defense before key opportunities are lost.

• Thorough Investigations: We begin by conducting an independent investigation to counter the prosecution’s narrative. This includes reviewing police reports, medical records, and communication logs to identify inconsistencies and gaps.
• Preservation of Digital Evidence: Digital devices are often at the center of sex crime allegations. We work with forensic experts to secure emails, text messages, social media interactions, and other electronic records that may prove your innocence.
• Surveillance Footage: Video evidence can be invaluable, but it is often erased or overwritten. We act quickly to obtain and preserve surveillance footage from public and private sources.
• Witness Interviews: Witness memories can fade, and their availability may change over time. We locate, interview, and secure statements from witnesses who can corroborate your version of events.

In today’s digital age, allegations of sex crimes often involve online interactions, electronic communications, or evidence from devices like smartphones, computers, and tablets. This evidence is frequently complex and subject to misinterpretation or mishandling.

• Challenging Unlawful Searches: If law enforcement obtained evidence without a valid warrant or in violation of your Fourth Amendment rights, we will seek to suppress that evidence in court.
• Disputing Chain of Custody Issues: Digital evidence must be handled carefully to ensure its integrity. We review whether law enforcement followed proper protocols and identify any gaps or inconsistencies in the chain of custody.
• Highlighting Alternative Explanations: Digital evidence, such as geolocation data or communication logs, can be interpreted in multiple ways. We work to show that the evidence does not conclusively prove guilt and may, in fact, support your defense.
• Utilizing Expert Witnesses: We collaborate with leading forensic experts to analyze and refute the prosecution’s digital evidence. These experts can explain technical nuances to the court, undermining the strength of the government’s case.

Defending against sex crime charges requires a comprehensive and multifaceted approach. We combine legal acumen with practical strategies to address every aspect of your case.

• Behavioral Health Treatment: Courts often view voluntary participation in therapy or treatment programs as a sign of rehabilitation and accountability. We help clients connect with reputable professionals who can provide support and demonstrate progress.
• Reputation Management: Allegations of sex crimes can damage your reputation, even if charges are dropped. We advise clients on how to manage public perception and work to mitigate the long-term impact of the accusations.
• Negotiation with Prosecutors: In some cases, resolving the matter through a favorable plea agreement may be the best option. We negotiate aggressively to secure reduced charges or alternative sentencing options that minimize the impact on your life.
• Preparing for Trial: If the case proceeds to trial, we meticulously prepare by conducting mock trials, crafting persuasive arguments, and anticipating the prosecution’s tactics. Our attorneys have extensive experience presenting complex cases to juries and securing acquittals.
