Defending Against Date Rape Allegations
Attending a rave or nightclub is not a crime and you should not be prosecuted simply for being seen with someone who has alleged date rape or acquaintance rape. Convictions cannot be made solely on circumstances - the prosecution must have real evidence against you. Having a defense lawyer who cares about your rights and who listens to your side of the story is paramount in cases involving alleged drug-induced sexual assault.

Thorough, Unrelenting Defense Against Date Rape Charges
Prosecutors sometimes make their cases against defendants based on the assumption that the defense lawyer will not do all the legwork needed. Once any known Benzodiazepines, such as Rohypnol (Flunitrazepam), Temazepam (Restoril), Midazolam or other known date rape drug is detected in the accuser's system, the prosecution may believe they have a strong enough case for a conviction. However, our team of lawyers knows better than just to roll over and accept the prosecution's theory of the case. We thoroughly investigate the events of the alleged incident and often seek our own analysis of the evidence.
Timing is Crucial
Date rape drugs can be detected in the blood or urine for days and in the hair for weeks. However, the mere presence of the drugs does not prove that the drug was introduced at any specific time or location. Any number of people could have slipped the drug to the accuser, particularly in a public setting like a bar or club. We work aggressively to uphold your side of the story.
