    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 214-949-4117 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. These offenses are often complex and emotionally charged, with high stakes and intense public scrutiny. 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.

    While public defenders are often skilled attorneys, their intense caseloads make it difficult for them to devote enough time to your case. My Dallas Criminal Lawyer prides itself on being fully available to our clients throughout the process.

    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.
