Sexual abuse and assault charges are difficult for most people to acknowledge. You may be feeling embarrassed that you have had these charges brought against you, and you may even be finding that it can be difficult to find an attorney who will agree to represent you.
At Gioffredi & Associates, we have handled hundreds of sexual assault and sexual abuse cases in a nine-county area surrounding Dallas, including the counties of Dallas, Denton, Tarrant, Collin, Johnson, Ellis, Kaufman, Hunt, and Rockwall. There is no need to feel embarrassed about these charges with us, whether they are true or false. We are here to help you, not to judge you.
We work on all sorts of child molestation cases, including indecency with a child, sexual assault, and aggravated sexual assault. The difference between those charges generally has to do with the age of the child involved and the extent of the alleged sexual activity. We are also seeing more internet based cases involving child pornography or arranging to meet a young person for purposes of sexual contact via a chat room. And we handle other sexual abuse crimes as well, including rape.
These are serious felony charges, and deserve a dedicated, aggressive defense. Although we will always act in your best interests and with your consent, we feel that in most cases, there is very little to be lost by going to trial. In fact, we have a very high percentage of cases that we take to trial, as most plea agreements simply do not help our clients enough. We will examine your case carefully to see if there are issues, such as search and seizure problems, which will keep some evidence out of court or to see if we can get the charges dismissed outright. Then we will prepare the strongest defense possible for you, to get the best result we can from the jury.
If you have been charged with a sexual crime, contact us to set up an initial appointment as soon as possible. Let our experienced, reliable, and aggressive attorneys go to work for you.
