Even in cases where the contact was brief or unintended, sexual battery charges can still be filed.

Common Defense Strategies for Sexual Battery
False Accusations
Unfortunately, false accusations happen. We will thoroughly investigate the situation and challenge the credibility of the accuser if there is reason to believe the charges are false.
Consent
In many cases, the accused person believed the contact was consensual. We will present evidence showing that the interaction was consensual and work to clear your name.
Lack of Evidence
The burden of proof lies with the prosecution. If the evidence is weak or lacking, we will argue that the prosecution has not met its burden, and the charges should be dismissed.
Mistaken Identity
In some cases, the wrong person may be accused. We will investigate the facts of the case and present evidence to prove your innocence.
How it works

When our client walked into our office, the stakes couldn’t have been higher. Charged with carjacking under Penal Code 215, with allegations of personal infliction of great bodily injury and the use of a knife, he faced an uphill battle. On top of that, four aggravating factors were in play, threatening to make him eligible for the maximum sentence of 16 years and 8 months in prison. Adding to the complexity, he had another case that could have added two more years if found guilty. |

As a criminal defense attorney, I often encounter cases that test the very fabric of justice. One such case involved a young male client facing serious charges, including attempted murder, shooting at an inhabited dwelling, and various firearm-related offenses. The severity of these charges meant that my client was looking at a potential life sentence, with an additional 20-year firearm enhancement, leading to a daunting prospect of over 30 years to life in prison. |
