Defend Your Legal Rights and Your Reputation
Dedicated Sex Crimes Defense in Knoxville and East Tennessee
There are few experiences in life that are more harrowing than being wrongly accused of a sex crime, such as rape or sexual assault. An accusation alone can do an immense amount of damage to your reputation and to your standing with your employer, your neighbors and your family. A conviction of a sex crime will only exacerbate that damage in addition to the severe criminal penalties that will follow.
Fortunately, at the law firm of Patrick L. Looper, Attorney at Law, our firm represents clients who have been falsely accused of sex crimes in Knoxville and the surrounding communities of East Tennessee. While we believe that the criminal justice system in the United States is the best in the world, it also has flaws and innocent people can sometimes be charged and convicted of crimes that they did not commit.
One of the best aspects of our legal system is the constitutional right to a lawyer who will defend you in court. Criminal defense attorney Patrick Looper will aggressively pursue the best possible outcome in your case and will work hard to get your charges reduced or dismissed. Even in the best situations, a false accusation of a sex crime may stay with you long after the trial is over. But if the charges are dismissed or you are acquitted, you can maintain your innocence and avoid incarceration, a conviction on your criminal record and mandatory lifetime registration as a sex offender.
False Sex Crimes Accusations in Family Disputes
Our firm's experience, unfortunately, has been that false sex crimes accusations seem to be most prevalent during bitter divorces and custody battles. These accusations are meant to gain an advantage over the other party. In divorce and other family law proceedings, a false accusation against a spouse may limit or prevent them from having visitation rights with their children or from having any say in the child's future. In the worst cases, a parent may coach their child into saying things or making accusatory remarks about the other parent that are not true.
Patrick L. Looper, Attorney at Law, will thoroughly investigate your case and will investigate to determine if events occurred the way that they were alleged. As a criminal defense attorney who also practices family law, Patrick Looper can assist clients in their custody hearing and in the defense of sex crimes allegations, which provides a better chance of success with a coherent defense. Our firm defends individuals falsely accused of sex crimes in Tennessee who need their constitutional rights protected.
