The Importance of Motions in Sexual Assault Trials

These cases can be based on historical allegations, allegations arising from domestic or intrapersonal relations (dating, office, etc.), or can arise from misidentification. We have defended very high-profile and complex cases at all levels of court. Each sexual assault case has its own particular evidence. Any person accused of sexual assault or a domestic offence requires detailed and carefully crafted defences.
