Defending an individual accused with child molestation, sex assault, or other related sex crimes is a very specialized area of criminal defense. Unfortunately, the very accusation itself is often treated as conclusive proof of the supposed misconduct. Law enforcement officers, as well as prosecutors, try to bend rules in prosecuting these types of cases. Consequently, not all criminal defense attorneys are equipped to handle the complex issues that sex cases present. Many criminal defense attorneys either assume that their client is guilty, or believe that the charges are unbeatable, prematurely concluding that no viable defense exists. Nevada laws concerning all types of sex crimes are some of the toughest in the country. The political climate and general public sentiment regarding sex crimes make it even more crucial that your attorney is familiar with all aspects of defending these types of charges. Less than adequate legal representation can result in not only a loss of job, standing in the community, and terrible embarrassment, but present the very real possibility of lengthy prison terms, lifelong registration as a sex offender, and loss of parental rights to see your own children. The law firm of Robert M. Draskovich, Chtd. has successfully defended many sexual assault, child molestation, child abuse, and other sex crime cases. Most of the clients who come to Robert M. Draskovich, Chtd. are referred to us by other attorneys and professionals who are aware of our expertise in this area of the law. If our firm is retained at an early stage, we are often able to avoid the trauma and embarrassment of our client being arrested at home or at the workplace. We often make contact with law enforcement and the court in order to make the necessary arrangements to avoid embarrassment. An aggressive and prepared defense is the best defense. A proactive approach is paramount to a successful defense of sex related charges. When aggressively representing an accused individual, we look at all aspects of the charges, including investigation of the alleged victim to show that said victim has a motive to lie, or by establishing that the alleged victim has a reputation for untruthfulness, cheating, stealing, or may otherwise be untrustworthy. We seek, obtain, and review any medical evidence with our independent experts in trying to demonstrate that there are other medical explanations of the physical findings, other than sexual assault or molestation. We subpoena school records and psychological records that may be used in an evaluation of the credibility of the alleged victim. When advantageous to the defense, we obtain a credible polygraph examination. The presumption of innocence is a sacred legal principal that our American system of justice has borrowed from the old English Common Law. Unfortunately, this crucial protection is often cast aside when an allegation of sexual misconduct is made. An attorney who treats a sex crime case, as he or she would any other criminal charge, does so at the accused person's peril. If you are accused of a sex crime, you need a lawyer who is dedicated to YOUR DEFENSE. The law firm of Robert M. Draskovich, Chtd. practices extensively in the area of sex related offenses. We are in court every day defending people charged with sex crimes. Our firm has an in-house private investigator to assist in your defense, the investigation of your case, and the protection of your rights. An individual accused of a sex crime must not depend only upon the investigation of the police, but should have his own independent investigation of the allegations leveled against him. Our criminal defense firm has one purpose -- |
