Philadelphia Defense Attorneys for Charges of Rape and Sexual Assault
At the law office of Patrick J. Artur & Associates, we know that cases of rape and sexual assault can be challenging and can have implications that affect every area of our clients' lives. The stigma that is associated with someone who has been arrested or charged with a sex crime can be devastating. A criminal conviction for rape or sexual assault will only solidify the damage to that person's life and reputation, in addition to the criminal penalties that can run to many years of incarceration.
If you or someone you love has been arrested and charged with rape or sexual assault in the Philadelphia area, it is important to contact an experienced criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible. Once you retain our representation, we will begin the investigation of your case immediately. Prosecutors will start building a case against you long before you are arrested. By prompt action to subpoena everything that we need to defend you, our firm will ensure that your side of the story is told.

Aggressive Defense Against Accusations of Rape and Sexual Assault
Typically, cases of rape and sexual assault hinge on physical evidence and questions about consent, or lack thereof, between the parties involved. There are many different types of rape, each with its own unique set of circumstances and aspects that must be considered. Some of these include statutory rape, marital or spousal rape and date rape. In each case, the defense that is used may be different depending on the situation and the facts of the case.
In every case, the accurate collection, preservation and testing of the physical evidence in the case is crucial for establishing a case against you. Our firm works with on-staff investigators who will evaluate the prosecution's case against you, and if it is found that errors were made in the collection of evidence, we will develop a defense that takes into account those mistakes.
Our attorneys also work hard to identify contradictory testimony of witnesses and will look at the background of the situation to identify other reasons why these accusations may have been made against you. Our investigators will talk with possible witnesses and scrutinize the events leading up to the contact in question, including text messages, telephone calls and any other evidence that may contradict the allegation of forcible sexual assault or rape.
