Sex Crimes
Sexual assault usually involves any type of unwanted physical contact with any sexual organ. Such sexual contact must be without the victim’s consent to such contact.

If you have been charged with or are facing a sex crime, an experienced criminal defense attorney can defend you. David Gilbert Law has that experience.
Domestic Violence
Domestic violence usually involves the crime of assault. Since this crime usually occurs between family members, factors such as the willingness of the victim to proceed with prosecution, and whether the victim still lives with the defendant, play an important role in how the prosecutor views the case. Although such facts normally do not result in dropping the charges, an experienced attoney may be able to use these factors to your advantage.

Appeals
We know things don’t always go the way you expect during your jury trial and wrong trial court decisions often occur in court as a result.

Now you have been convicted and you need to try and overturn that conviction.
