Chicago Rape Attorney

Have you been arrested for rape?

Being arrested and charges with rape can be a very upsetting experience.  Like other sex offenses, rape carries a social stigma even before there is a conviction. By definition rape is physically forced non-consensual sexual intercourse. It may be accomplished through incapacitation such as intoxication from a controlled substance, or alcohol, or other condition.  Rape allegations require legal representation by a skilled Chicago criminal defense attorney with the drive to use all possible legal tools to provide a strong defense.  Our legal team has been successfully helping clients with their defense for many years.

Rape Defense Lawyer in Chicago

There is seldom a witness to a rape.  This means that investigators rely upon statements given by the accuser without corroboration.  Prosecutors are energetic in prosecuting serious sex crimes even lacking strong evidence and very often ask for the maximum sentencing.  Penalties include imprisonment, fines, probation, mandatory counseling, community service, and registration as a sex offender.  It is common knowledge that an allegation of rape is easily made and may be made for ulterior motives.  For example, a charge of date rape may be a simple matter of "morning after remorse".  An experienced rape lawyer will investigate the allegations for conflicting data or statements, information missed by investigators, possible witness statements, and other evidence vital to the defense. 

This kind of charge can affect your friendships, family relationships, your career and your standing in the community.  It is vital that you have an aggressive criminal defense lawyer on your side who understands the prosecution's tactics and strategy.  We understand this is a very stressful time and will work with you to develop a strong defense strategy.  We are committed to achieving a favorable result in defending a client facing a rape charge.  Call Goldman & Associates for a consultation.
