A skilled lawyer can review your case and discuss your legal options and defense alternatives. Early involvement by a capable attorney may help in mitigating the charges against you, or even result in a case dismissal.

He is a knowledgeable criminal defense lawyer with extensive trial experience in sex crime cases.

A conviction for rape, including spousal rape, statutory rape and date rape, can ruin your life forever. In addition to the stigma of being found guilty of a sex crime, you will be facing penalties such as:
- Imprisonment
- Fines
- Restitution
- Court-ordered counseling
- Sex offender registration
If the rape involved a minor of the use of a deadly weapon, penalties will be increased. Children under the age of 14 are considered incapable of consenting to sexual acts. Sex with minors between the ages of 14 and 17 is also illegal if the defendant is three years older than the alleged victim. Attorney Atkinson will aggressively defend the charges against you and vigorously defend your constitutional rights.
