Sex Crimes

Sex Crimes Attorney in Atlanta

Being charged with a sex offense in Atlanta or elsewhere in Georgia can come as a shock, but it's imperative that you act quickly to defend yourself.

The stakes in terms of long prison sentences, being listed on a sex offenders registry, and the damage to your personal and community reputation is simply too high to leave anything about your defense to chance.

​

At the firm of Pratt & Wall, our attorneys handle sex crimes cases as part of our criminal defense practice. Our attorneys will thoroughly examine the evidence that's been gathered through an investigation or after an arrest has been made.

Our attorneys are often able to find weaknesses in the prosecution's case that can lead to charges not being filed or being dismissed before trial.

We are not afraid to take your case to trial if that is the best path to a positive result for you.

Building Successful Defenses Against Sex Crimes

Our practice has defended clients against a wide variety of sex crimes under Georgia law, including:

• Rape
• Sexual assault
• Statutory rape
• Child molestation and aggravated child molestation
• Sexual exploitation of a child
• Sexual battery

​​

Our defense investigation begins with a review of statements by the alleged victim or witnesses. Our attorney is on the lookout for inconsistencies and considers the circumstances under which the statements were made. Our attorneys will identify any failures by law enforcement or social workers to follow standard protocols in obtaining statements, particularly by children.

​

Our attorneys will also scrutinize the backgrounds of the persons involved in the case on the prosecution's side. Questionable motives or excessive grievances can indicate the possibility of a false accusation.

They will also review the medical evidence in the case and follow up with health care personnel involved in caring for the alleged victim. Missing information or a mismatch between the allegations and the medical evidence can severely damage the state's case against you.
