SEXUAL ASSAULT LAWYERS HAMILTON

Unlike other crimes, sexual offences carry a devastating stigma that cannot easily be mitigated. As the perception of sexual assaults is that they are very violent and the victims are vulnerable, those charged with a sexual offence often experience bias from the outset. 

You need someone in your corner whom you can have confidence in. Someone who is not afraid of fighting hard in court on your behalf.  Someone both prepared and skilled enough to expose false or distorted allegations. 

There are no limitation periods on sexual assault charges. It’s not uncommon that individuals can be confronted with allegations that are 20-30 years old. This makes them difficult to defend but it must be also understood that it makes them difficult to prosecute. You need lawyers who have had experience defending such cases. 

The law about sexual assault is one of the most complex areas of criminal law. 

You must hire a lawyer who fully understands the law, can protect your rights, and advance all defences available to you. A lawyer with extensive experience defending sexual offences is pertinent to obtaining the best result in your matter. 

The lawyers at Paquette Wilhelm have a significant amount of experience defending sexual assault charges and have had great success in doing so.
