Rape Defense Attorney in Lawrenceville

Question: I am trying to help a kid who has just made the worst decision anyone could make... he got caught having sex with his 14 year old girlfriend... he is 17... it was consensual but i know the age is a problem... they are both minors... is there anything we can do to help prevent him from being marked as a sexual offender for the rest of his life?

Answer: Your friend has committed a rape. Persons under 16 cannot consent to sex. Also, since he is 17 he will be prosecuted as an adult. He needs a good attorney ASAP. The 17 year old is not a minor in GA. The 14 year old cannot give consent.

About Me

I hung a shingle in February 2000, because I saw that individuals charged with criminal offenses were being underserved by the attorneys practicing criminal law. Since February 2000, I have represented more than two thousand criminal clients. I only practice criminal law, but I do everything from violations of probation to Supreme Court appeals. There are few attorneys under the age of sixty that have my level of experience. I have tried more than two hundred major felony jury trials. I have tried more than fifty misdemeanor jury trials. In Philadelphia as a prosecutor, I tried more than two thousand bench trials. I have conducted more than three thousand preliminary hearings and bond hearings. Yet, I still have the energy at forty-five to serve my current clients. There is nothing that will occur in a courtroom that I have not experienced before. When you are looking for an attorney, experience is everything.
