If you have been charged with rape, your life, reputation and freedom are on the line. Rape and other sex crimes are very serious charges that are prosecuted more harshly than any other crime. You could be facing a mandatory prison sentence of 10 years or more, plus lifetime supervision, GPS monitoring and permanent placement on the sex offender registry. When everything is on the line, it is critical to have an experienced attorney representing you.
If you have been charged with rape, contact The Hammer Law Firm as soon as possible. With more than 13 years of experience as a prosecutor, our firm's founding attorney Mark A. Hammer understands the criminal justice system from both sides and will explore every option to help you avoid a criminal conviction.
Experienced Rape Defense
At The Hammer Law Firm, we represent clients who have been charged with rape and other serious sex crimes. We handle all state and federal rape charges, including:
- Statutory rape
- Sexual assault
- Sexual abuse
- Date rape
- Forcible rape
- Possession of the date rape drug, gamma hydroxybutyrate (GHB)
Rape charges involve complex issues such as DNA testing, victim credibility and exclusion of character evidence. We will complete a thorough evaluation of your case, including your arrest records and any evidence gathered by law enforcement. If any of this evidence was obtained illegally, we will file motions to suppress it. Our goal is to help you achieve the most favorable outcome possible, whether that is dismissal, acquittal at trial, or a negotiated reduction of the charges against you so that you are not required to register on the sex crimes registry.
At The Hammer Law Firm, we are zealous advocates for clients charged with rape and other sex crimes. As a St. Louis rape attorney, Mr. Hammer has more than a hundred trials to his credit, giving him the experience needed to handle your case — no matter how complex the crime is.
