Why You Need an Aggravated Sexual Assault Defense Attorney in Dallas
Aggravated sexual assault charges will immediately impact your life—even before a conviction. Without skilled legal representation from My Dallas Criminal Lawyer, your future is at risk.
Aggravated sexual assault charges include one or more of the following circumstances:
- Serious bodily injury to the alleged victim
- Use of threats, weapons, or drugs
- Alleged victims who are under 14, elderly, or disabled
These enhancements significantly increase potential penalties. Under the Texas Penal Code, aggravated sexual assault is a first-degree felony. This crime is punishable by five years to life in prison, mandatory sex offender registration, and a permanent criminal record. Plus, prosecutors often pursue the maximum sentence possible, including in cases without strong evidence. They may build their case around:
- The alleged victim’s statement
- Text messages, emails, and call logs
- DNA and forensic reports
- Testimony from law enforcement or medical professionals
If you’re under investigation or have already been charged, you need a lawyer right away. Don’t risk representing yourself or relying on public defenders with heavy caseloads. An attorney from My Dallas Criminal Lawyer can:
- Protect your rights during police interviews
- Begin our own investigation
- Challenge Constitutional violations, like unlawful searches or problematic warrants
- Advocate to prevent charges from being filed
- Develop a proactive defense strategy
The earlier My Dallas Criminal Lawyer is involved, the more defense options you’ll have. Call 214-764-5535 to talk to one of our experienced sexual assault defense attorneys today.
Why Choose My Dallas Criminal Lawyer to Handle My Case?
Our firm has significant experience defending clients against aggravated sexual assault charges in the Dallas metropolitan area.

It’s not just criminal penalties you’re facing, either—your reputation in the community may suffer, even if you’re later acquitted. Discreet, aggressive representation from My Dallas Criminal Lawyer can help you lessen the social impact and protect your rights.

Our team regularly collaborates with forensic experts, digital analysts, and private investigators to challenge the evidence and build your personalized defense. We’ll launch our investigation and look for weaknesses in the prosecution’s case, such as a lack of physical evidence or procedural errors.
Whether we resolve the case through case dismissal, negotiations, or proceed to trial, we’re on your side every step of the way. We offer clear, honest communication about your options, the risks involved, and the most likely outcomes. We won’t sugarcoat the situation—but more importantly, we never stop fighting to protect your rights and your future.
Types of Aggravated Sexual Assault Cases We Handle
My Dallas Criminal Lawyer defends clients against aggravated sexual assault charges, including:
Aggravated Sexual Assault Involving Children
Aggravated sexual assault against a minor under age 14 requires the strongest defense possible. The State does not recognize consent as a legal defense in these situations, and a conviction can lead to a life sentence and automatic sex offender registration. We carefully review the minor’s statements and any possible motives for fabrication—especially in cases involving custody battles or coaching by family members and friends.
Assaults Involving Force, Threats, or Weapons
These charges claim that you used a deadly weapon, caused serious bodily injury, or threatened death, kidnapping, or retaliation. We conduct our own investigation into the evidence, including medical records, forensic evidence, and witness accounts. Our defense often focuses on identifying inconsistencies. For example, we may highlight the lack of physical proof and question the alleged victim’s credibility.
Incapacitation or Drug-Facilitated Assault
These charges accuse defendants of using drugs or alcohol so that the alleged victim was incapable of consent. Prosecutors typically rely on toxicology reports, digital messages, surveillance footage, and social media evidence. Our defense strategies may involve showing mutual intoxication, lack of intent, or procedural flaws.
False Allegations or Misidentification
Even a false accusation can ruin your life. They can arise in emotionally charged situations like custody disputes, relationship problems, or mistaken identity in group settings. Whether you have an alibi or we attack the prosecution’s evidence another way, we’ll pursue every available avenue to demonstrate reasonable doubt.
If you’re not sure whether we can defend your case—or you want to learn more about your options—contact our firm today. We’ll provide a confidential case review and help you make an informed choice about your defense.

I had the pleasure of working with Justin and his colleagues. Their expertise was immediately apparent; they possess a remarkable ability to not only present the most favorable potential outcomes but also to thoroughly analyze and articulate the potential challenges and risks involved. This balanced approach was incredibly valuable in helping us make informed decisions. Their professionalism was consistently exemplary, and I found them both to be highly personable and collaborative.

Ashton Smith
Was facing 5 plus years on a serious criminal charge. Justin not only got the charge reduced but he got the whole CASE ENTIRELY DISMISSED. Not to mention everything was pointing my way to being guilty of some sort and Justin was able to get both cases thrown out.
Justin Harris was also immaculate! These two are a powerful duo and they both will fight for your freedom no matter the circumstances.
Lastly Justin was great at communicating! Shooting him a text before calling and he normally answers. Also, Justin aligned my court dates up with my off days so I could keep my job.
Shishir Roy
I am incredibly grateful for Justin Wilson’s exceptional work as my criminal defense attorney. Facing false allegations was daunting, but Justin’s expertise and dedication led to dismissals for both of my cases, clearing my name. He also skillfully secured an early expungement before the statute of limitations expired, giving me a fresh start.
From the start, Justin listened attentively, explained every step, and was always available to address questions or provide updates. His strategic approach, attention to detail, and relentless advocacy were outstanding. Unlike some attorneys, Justin prioritizes his clients’ best interests over profit and can be trusted with complex legal matters.
For anyone seeking a skilled, compassionate, and trustworthy criminal defense attorney, I wholeheartedly recommend Justin Wilson. Thank you, Justin, for everything!

I cannot recommend Justin Harris at My Dallas Criminal Lawyer highly enough. From our first consultation, Justin demonstrated a deep understanding of criminal law and a real commitment to protecting my rights. He was clear, honest, and always kept me informed throughout the process.
What stood out most was his strategic approach and calm demeanor. He explained all of my options clearly, never sugarcoated things, and ultimately helped me get a result that exceeded my expectations. It’s clear he has strong relationships in the Dallas legal community and knows how to navigate the system effectively.
If you’re facing criminal charges and need a lawyer who is sharp, responsive, and truly on your side, Justin Harris is the attorney to call. Worth every penny.
Frank S.
Justin helped me with a criminal matter and I have to say I had a wonderful experience with something that was very uncomfortable. Justin was responsive and clearly explained and helped me understand my options. In the end he was able to resolve the problem in my favor due to procedural issues he discovered and leveraged. I hope to never have to use his services again, but I know who I will call if I do need help!
Dave
After speaking with several criminal defense lawyers about my case I finally had spoken with Justin Wilson and was blown away. This gentleman is extremely knowledgeable and takes time to listen not missing anything. You can tell just from the sound of someone’s voice as to whether or not they are genuine and I could tell immediately after speaking with him that he truly cares about his clients. He took time going over my case with me and constantly kept me updated during the process. I would recommend him to anyone seeking out a lawyer for criminal defense and did I mention he is well connected in the court system. I hope that I will never need another lawyer, but if I do, Justin Wilson is my only choice. Thank you so much for the dismissal and the expunction of my case. You truly are amazing at what you do and I am forever grateful. Thanks.
