Houston Sexual Assault Defense Attorney

How does one beat a sex assault charge?
By choosing the right criminal defense lawyer who focuses on cases like yours.

At the Neal Davis Law Firm, we believe in second chances and fighting for every defendant’s constitutional rights of a fair trial and vigorous defense. You are innocent unless the prosecution can prove otherwise “beyond a reasonable doubt,” and we will fight for you, your family and your freedom throughout the legal process.

Why Hire a Sexual Assault Defense Attorney?

According to the Miranda Rights and the Sixth Amendment, every American has the right to hire a qualified attorney or be appointed professional legal counsel if they can’t afford one.

Some people choose to waive this right and represent themselves; however, this is highly discouraged in sexual assault cases.

For starters, Texas is extremely harsh on accused sex offenders, often sentencing those found guilty to many years in prison and forcing them to register with the state. Additional punishments include heavy fines, civil lawsuits and damage to relationships. Experienced attorneys like Neal Davis know how to communicate best with prosecutors and judges, artfully negotiating on your behalf to build the most effective legal defense based on extensive knowledge of the law and the evidence being used against you.

Is it cheaper to have a defense attorney appointed to your sexual assault case rather than hire one?

Not necessarily. The cost of a public defender is often passed onto the defendant in the end, so don’t make the mistake of thinking you are getting “free” legal services. Also, while you are guaranteed the right to professional legal representation, that doesn’t mean the individual assigned to your case is cut out for the job. Court appointed attorneys often juggle heavy caseloads and are more likely to make a mistake or not give your case the personal attention it deserves.

To secure the best possible outcome in your case, you will need to hire an experienced criminal defense attorney on your own.

He focused on listening and helping, not just explaining his fees

“Neal represented our son and the case against him was dismissed, while other attorneys we consulted primarily focused on explaining their fees and pushed us to settle. Neal took time to understand our needs and truly appreciate our values and to convey to the Court, the District Attorney and the Judge the true essence of the case details and the circumstances of how our son was himself victimized, versus treating us as another case. He saw the case through to the utmost extent of the law, so our son, who is an honor student, was completely exonerated, and he made sure that support and professional help were in place during the experience. He declined the court’s offer of a 2-year probation and pushed harder with the D.A. even though we had already paid him his fees. Most attorneys would have simply walked away at that point; however, Neal wasn’t satisfied with the results and had the case reset since he knew it was not a fair result for my son. In the end, the case was dismissed.”
