Why Immediate Legal Help Matters in Sexual Assault Cases
The state takes allegations of CSC very seriously and will begin building a case against you before you even know you’re being investigated. These cases are often emotionally charged, complex, and carry a presumption of guilt in the court of public opinion.
We protect your rights from the moment you're contacted by police or formally charged. Our team provides legal services in
English, Spanish, and Portuguese, ensuring all clients understand their situation and their legal options.
Our Approach to Sexual Assault Defense in South Carolina
We begin by thoroughly reviewing the accusation, timeline, and all available evidence. In CSC cases, we often find issues like inconsistent statements, lack of physical evidence, or misinterpretation of consensual encounters.
We build a defense focused on exposing weaknesses in the state’s case whether that’s mistaken identity, false allegations, improper procedures, or lack of corroborating evidence. When needed, we engage expert witnesses and prepare for a full defense at trial.

False Allegations of Sexual Assault
