Sexual Assault

Facing criminal charges for a sex offense can be very difficult. No one wants to be labeled as a sex offender. At the law office of Robert J. Smith, P.C., we are very experienced defending individuals charged with criminal offenses involving sex crimes. Contact our Oregon sexual abuse lawyer to discuss your case.

Our firm represents individuals charged with the following criminal acts:

  • Sexual abuse (1st degree, 2nd degree, or 3rd degree)
  • Rape
  • Statutory Rape
  • Sexual assault

Sexual abuse is a measure 11 offense. Therefore, if an individual is convicted, they face the penalty that is set automatically by the sentencing guidelines. When representing an individual charged with a sexual assault crime, we work to protect your rights. We carefully investigate the matter through meticulously reviewing the police report, searching for witnesses, and trying to discredit any questionable evidence.

Most times in sexual assault cases, there is not a lot of physical evidence. The evidence presented is "he said, she said" or hearsay. We aggressively work to question the credibility of this evidence and to point out inconsistencies and weakness in the individual's statements alleging the abuse. Through our lawyer's experience and careful preparation, we have obtained acquittals and dismissals for clients charged with various sex crimes.

If you have been arrested for rape, sex abuse, or sex assault, our firm will strive to effectively achieve a dismissal of your case. For quality legal representation, contact our Eugene sexual assault defense attorney.
