Sexual Assault

Minneapolis Sexual Assault Defense Lawyers

Based on years of experience, attorneys at the DeGree Law Office know that sex crime cases are often decided on the testimony of the individuals involved and the quality of their lawyers. The truth is that sexual assault and rape cases are often fraught with conflicting testimony, and they can be very difficult to defend. Innocent people may be falsely accused. Regardless of guilt or innocence, sexual assault cases also prove to be highly uncomfortable for the accused.

In Minnesota, sex crimes have been placed on the front burner politically. Individuals arrested for sexual assault - including rape, statutory rape, or sexual assault by a doctor - are considered guilty the moment they are charged. But we understand that being charged is different than being guilty.

Experienced Legal Help When You Need It

The defense attorneys at the DeGree Law Office have obtained numerous acquittals and dismissals in serious sexual assault cases, including cases involving an allegation of rape and alleged sexual assault of a minor. These types of cases occasionally involve police officers using force or threats to obtain confessions that are inadmissible in court. Our attorneys have successfully had these statements thrown out and repeatedly demonstrated to juries that statements obtained under these circumstances are not reliable.
