Sexual assault cases can carry serious legal, personal, and professional consequences, even before a trial begins. If you’ve been accused, the decisions you make right now can make a significant difference in how your case is resolved. You need experienced legal representation to protect your rights and guide you through the criminal justice system.

Let us help you fight back. Call 214-949-4117 today to speak with a sexual assault defense lawyer in Dallas who can help protect your rights, your reputation, and your future.

Why You Need a Sexual Assault Defense Attorney in Dallas

Sexual assault convictions can result in long-term prison time, mandatory sex offender registration, and irreversible damage to your personal and professional life.

Even before a conviction, the impact can be life-altering:

• You may be subject to protective orders, limiting your contact with family members or access to your home.
• Judges often impose strict bond conditions that restrict your freedom while the case is pending.
• Employers, schools, and licensing boards may take adverse action based on pending charges.

If convicted, the consequences extend far beyond the courtroom:

• Prison sentences can range from two to 20 years for sexual assault and up to 99 years for aggravated sexual assault.
• You may be required to register as a sex offender for life.
• A conviction can limit future housing, employment, voting rights, and child custody rights.
• Your immigration status may be jeopardized.

These cases often rely on subjective accounts, with investigations that tend to favor the alleged victim. In many cases, there is no physical evidence or independent eyewitness testimony to use. That’s why early and aggressive legal representation is critical.

My Dallas Criminal Lawyer can:

• Step in during the investigation phase, sometimes before charges are formally filed.
• Review digital and physical evidence for inconsistencies or violations of your rights.
• File motions to suppress unlawfully obtained statements or search results.
• Challenge the credibility of witnesses and the reliability of forensic evidence.
• Explore defenses such as consent, mistaken identity, false accusations, or constitutional violations.

Types of Sexual Assault Cases We Handle

• Sexual Assault – Sexual assault typically involves sexual penetration without the other person’s consent. This charge is a second-degree felony, punishable by two to 20 years in prison and a possible fine of up to $10,000. Enhancements may apply based on the circumstances or your criminal history.
• Aggravated Sexual Assault – Aggravated sexual assault is a more serious charge. This charge includes factors such as serious bodily injury, threats of violence, use of a deadly weapon, or cases involving victims under 14. It is classified as a first-degree felony and is punished by years to life in prison. These cases demand an aggressive, detail-oriented defense.
• Statutory Sexual Assault (Statutory Rape) – Statutory sexual assault applies when the alleged victim is under 17, regardless of whether the contact was consensual. Exceptions exist for relationships where the age difference is minimal, meaning the parties are close in age. However, prosecutors can still pursue charges—even if both parties claim the relationship was mutual. We carefully assess potential Romeo-and-Juliet defenses.
• Indecent Exposure or Public Lewdness – While these offenses are misdemeanors, they can still lead to damaging social consequences. You may be required to register as a sex offender. My Dallas Criminal Lawyer pursues options such as deferred adjudication, case dismissal, or record sealing whenever possible.
