Rape Defense Attorney in Lawrenceville

Question: My son and two other boys are being called into questioning for rape of a 17 year old girl. The boys are all 18. Should I allow him to go in and say he has an attorney or just tell the detective on the phone that he will not be coming in? I just found out today and will be looking for an attorney asap. This is in Georgia. The other two boys say it was consensual and that my son was not involved, but he was at the house. The girl has changed her story 3 times with the final story not involving my son. However, he is still being called in to questioning. Not sure what to do.

Answer: Just tell the detective that he will NOT be making a statement. See website for info on retaining the right attorney: click here

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.

Rape Defense Attorney Lawrenceville

Question: Statute of Limitations when a minor is raped by her physician in Georgia 1986, till now. As an adult, what can she do? He admitted to it, criminal charges were dropped, and she did not receive any private compensation.

Answer: The statute of limitations on criminal rape charge is seven years, but the statute of limitations does not begin to run until the minor child turns 18. So, if she is 26 or older, the matter is closed. I suspect the matter is closed once you write that the criminal charges were dropped. If you are trying to recover money in civil court for a rape that is five or six years old, you have an uphill battle.

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.
