A sex crime allegation in California is one of the most damaging accusations a person can face — and one of the most defensible when handled correctly from the start.

Do Not Contact The Accuser

Any communication can become evidence and is often used as the basis for an additional dissuading-a-witness charge.

Retain Counsel Before The Pretext Call

Detectives often arrange a recorded call where the accuser tries to elicit incriminating statements. If you are retained early, we prepare you and often intercept this tactic.

Preserve Evidence

Texts, social media DMs, and dating app history can establish consent, prior relationship, or motive to fabricate. Preserve everything immediately.
