When you need an attorney who is willing to fight aggressively to protect your freedom and your reputation, having experienced counsel really counts.

Few situations can be as devastating to a client as being arrested--or investigated--for date rape. Devastating accusations such as these can result in arrest, even without corroborating evidence, forensic evidence, or even ample reason to doubt the accuser’s motives. Often, date rape cases are assigned to aggressive and even overzealous prosecutors and police detectives. When that happens, some attorneys are reluctant to aggressively defend clients in these cases.

When clients are accused of date rape, many clients (and their families) fear everyone —including neighbors, friends, coworkers, and even close family—will assume guilt. Alec Rose believes you are entitled to an effective, professional defense. He believes in preparing to aggressively defend you and your freedom. When your freedom, your reputation, and your future is in jeopardy , Alec Rose will prepare to take your case to trial and to seeking dismissal of these humiliating charges.  Your attorney must be ready to pursue an aggressive defense to a date rape charge as soon as the accusation arises.

Clients should also be aware that there is rarely an acceptable plea bargain available for any sex crime, including date rape. And. in Los Angeles County, sex crime charges carry very high bail. Most of the crimes carry prison sentences or very severe conditions if probation is granted at all. Nearly all date rape convictions require registration with the police and publication of your personal information on the Meghan’s Law database. Registration is a lifetime requirement in nearly all situations. For these reasons, Alec Rose knows that a good result in a date rape case in Los Angeles begins with an aggressive, creative, and effective defense strategy. The earlier in your case you hire counsel, the better your chances of getting the results you need.

If you believe you are being investigated for date rape, you need legal counsel immediately.

Most alleged date rapes occur in private. When police hear allegations of date rape they don’t expect the accuser to have corroborating evidence such as eyewitnesses or physical evidence. For this reason, they have developed investigation strategies that focus on forcing the accused to make incriminating statements. If the police are investigating an allegation about you, or want you to answer questions, you can assume that their goal is to arrest you. You need an attorney who has helped clients survive these investigations. The right advice may help you avoid arrest entirely.

Date rape cases involve unique aspects of California evidence law. The legislature has added special provisions to the evidence code to allow prosecutors to use evidence against the accused that is not usually admissible in other types of criminal cases. “Fresh Complaints” which may merely consist of the same groundless accusations against you repeated again and again, are admissible hearsay. Allegations by other people of “sexual misconduct” may be admitted to prove your guilt, even if these “charges” were never reported, never investigated, and never prosecuted! In these types of case, you need an attorney who has experience in responding to these strategies so that you still have a chance to win a fair trial. This is where experienced counsel really counts!

What Makes Mr. Rose successful in defending those accused of date rape?

He believes that the following characteristics of his practice are especially suited to defending clients charged with sexual crimes:

• Proven Results—He has defended many people charged with or accused of date rapes and has gotten many such cases dismissed and rejected by prosecutors. He has taken on cases with multiple accusers, DNA evidence, and even alleged “confessions” his clients were tricked into by police or by opportunists. Some of his cases have made news headlines, and he has presented his client’s side of the matter to the media effectively and ethically when such publicity could not be avoided.
• Personal Attention to each Client—If you call Mr. Rose about your case, you will speak to Mr. Rose. If you hire him, he will personally be your defense lawyer. There are no subcontractor attorneys, and no “Case Managers” to shield Mr. Rose from providing you his own time and experience. Mr. Rose personally respects your reputation, your freedom, and your decision to hire the best counsel you can for your case.
• Effective Case Preparation—You need an attorney who fully understands how to present your case in the best possible way. Even if your ultimate aim is to settle the case, you will only get a good settlement if the prosecutors believe your lawyer is prepared to effectively try your case. Can a “positive DNA match” be explained?? What about several “independent” accusers each claiming that the client sexually assaulted them? What about a pretext phone-call resulting in an “admission” of the accusations? Many examples of devastating and seemingly insurmountable evidence can be overcome by careful and creative case preparation by a lawyer who has fought similar cases before. Mr. Rose has defended cases in Southern California with facts like these, and he has helped clients show their innocence and avoid convictions, even with allegedly “positive” DNA tests.
• Jury Selection skills—Many people have false conceptions about date rape accusations, and how to judge such cases. Often, they don’t even know how prejudiced they are. In Los Angeles area date rape trials, jury selection is often the most important factor in the outcome of a trial. Only an attorney who has selected juries for date rape cases many times before can sort through a panel and effectively eliminate the most biased jurors and select people who are open to considering your innocence.
• Expertise, Legal Knowledge, and Excellence—The State Bar of California has only recognized a few hundred of its many thousands of members as Certified Specialists in Criminal Law. Mr. Rose is proud to be one of those attorneys. Consider the certification requirements. California certified specialists must pass a written examination in their specialty field, demonstrate a high level of expertise and experience in their field, fulfill ongoing education requirements, and undergo an evaluation process by other attorneys and judges familiar with their work.
• Effective Strategies to Avoid or Minimize Charges Before a Case is Filed—Many times, a person becomes aware that an investigation exists before an arrest or case filing. If charges can be avoided or minimized, you will have the best chance of avoiding higher costs, publicity, or the expense of posting bail. This can be the most beneficial time to hire an experienced attorney. With Mr. Rose’s help, you can consider strategies that may help you ultimately win the case. If you are charged or under investigation, Mr. Rose will devise a plan of action to develop evidence of your innocence or gather documentation of your accuser’s motives for potentially falsifying an accusation. Many people are more willing to come forward before the police charge you. The sooner you plan for your defense, the more effective it can be.

Any individual convicted of a sexual assault crime, whether involving a minor child victim, or an adult, must serve at least 85 percent of his or her sentence prior to being eligible for release.

In other cases the alleged victim actually gave her consent to engage in sexual relations.
