Rhode Island Sexual Assault Lawyer

Sexual Assault is a felony charge and only the most experienced attorney should be hired to build your case.  Your future is too important to risk, and when it comes to rape charges your future is at risk.  The charge alone carries some immediate consequences: Loss of reputation, embarrassment in the media, your job could be at risk and, worst of all, you could be held in prison as soon as the charges are filed.  The risks only get more serious, as the State will be seeking lengthy jail time, sex offender registration and possible GPS monitoring for life as a convicted sex offender.  Take the time now to find an attorney who can stand up to all of these risks and develop a case strategy that will navigate you safely away from the worst-case scenario.
