AUSTIN RAPE LAWYER
Rape Attorney in Austin
If you have been accused of rape, you may be facing severe penalties under Texas law. Depending on the specific crime in which you are charged, you could be required to register as a sex offender upon conviction. Sometimes you will be forced to register even without a conviction. You could also be facing fines and a lengthy jail sentence. In addition, your reputation could be permanently damaged even if the allegations made against you are completely false. This could lead to lost employment opportunities down the road. Even worse, allegations of rape may cause your family, friends, and neighbors to cast judgment and turn away from you.
You need an experienced rape lawyer to ensure that your reputation and your rights are protected. Allegations of rape can permanently damage your record. Let White and Measells help you prevent that from happening.
Rape Defense Attorney in Travis County
All too often, people who have been falsely accused of rape offer cooperation during the investigation process. Innocent people cooperate with law enforcement in the hope that they will be eliminated as suspects. What they do not realize is that their own statements, actions, and test results could allow the prosecution to pursue a false conviction.
A rape can help avoid prosecution altogether. Your attorney can investigate the facts and even assist the prosecution to determine whether charges should be pursued.
Sometimes with the help of an attorney, charges are never filed. If the prosecution does move forward, and evidence is submitted to a grand jury, your attorney can try to convince the grand jury to drop the case due to lack of sufficient evidence. If your case is indicted, a rape lawyer can attempt to have your case dismissed or have you acquitted at trial.

Remember not to speak with law enforcement or investigators without your attorney present. Too many innocent people prematurely agree to submit to a polygraph test thinking that this will resolve the issue once and for all. Unfortunately, the polygraph test can yield a false positive, which can give investigators the mistaken impression that you are guilty. Also keep in mind that any statements you make to investigators can be misconstrued or misunderstood.
