To find out how our approach to the defense of sex crime charges can help in your case, contact Joyce & Bittner in Pittsburgh for a free consultation. We represent clients charged with such sex offenses as aggravated sexual assault, indecent sexual assault, open lewdness, or statutory rape. No two cases are the same, but our experience and commitment to case preparation can have a strong bearing on how your case turns out. Where possible, we will involve defense investigators and other experts in preparing your defense. We work with the client in establishing what their particular goals and desires are in a serious criminal case and will work with them in establishing a defense plan. In many cases, early initiative in developing and executing your defense strategy can play a key role in the ultimate outcome of the case. At Joyce & Bittner, our sex crime defense attorneys also handle cases involving difficult issues of consent in cases involving accusations of date rape, acquaintance rape, or spousal rape. The competency of a minor in child sex offenses is another key area of litigation that requires careful attention and review. Where necessary we will utilize behavioral or psychological experts to assist in these cases and this can sometimes make the decisive difference. This is especially true where the accuracy of the alleged victim's story or the motivation underlying the charge can be challenged with the assistance of a qualified forensic witness. Our criminal defense lawyers also represent clients accused of such sex crimes as solicitation of a prostitute, online solicitation of a minor for sex in a chatroom, or possession of child pornography on a home or office computer. These charges are very serious, and Internet sex crimes are often prosecuted under federal law. Many of our clients are professionals or other hard working individuals with a great deal to lose if convicted or incarcerated for long periods of time. We will work hard to bring about the best possible result for you in light of your individual circumstances.
