Case Results

Facing three counts of Aggravated Rape and one count of Sexual Battery, with exposure to decades in prison and mandatory lifetime community supervision, our firm fought the case through years of litigation and key evidentiary challenges. By filing a 412 Motion, an evidentiary challenge that can be critical in sexual offense cases, we successfully controlled key evidence and shifted the leverage in the case. The result: all exposure to sex offense convictions eliminated, with the case resolved to a reduced charge of assault under a 4-year diversion, no jail time, avoiding sex offender registration, lifetime supervision, and a clear path to expungement.
