Sex Offenses

Skilled Defense in State or Federal Sex Crimes

If you have been charged with a sex offense under Nebraska or federal law, get the advice of a skilled and experienced trial lawyer. Contact the Berry Law Firm in Lincoln, and find out about your options for a favorable resolution of your case. Unlike most other law firms, in the early stages of criminal cases, we examine the evidence which the state will use against you. When evidence is examined at the earliest stage possible, it increases the likelihood of success throughout the proceedings. As early as possible, we test the reliability of confessions, witness statements and the conduct of police officers in conducting an interview of the accused. Taking such an aggressive and proactive approach helps convince the prosecutor they will have a difficult time proving you guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Such actions can lead to early dismissals or a reduction in charges.

In one recent case involving a person wrongfully accused of rape, we convinced the prosecution that the alleged victim's story would never hold up in court, and as such, criminal charges were never filed.

Successful resolutions are common for our clients throughout the legal process because we aggressively fight for our clients even before criminal charges are filed. If charges are filed, we are prepared to provide immediate aggressive representation from preliminary hearings, through suppression hearings and trials.

Our Attorneys Can Defend You on Any State or Federal Sex Offense Charge

At the Berry Law Firm, our ability to identify and pursue strategically sound approaches toward a favorable resolution of felony sex offenses can help you in such cases as:

  • Forcible rape or sexual assault
  • Date rape, acquaintance rape or spousal rape
  • Child molestation and indecent conduct charges
  • Internet sex offenses under federal law
  • Online solicitation of a minor for sex
  • Child pornography charges

While our goal is to win every criminal case we take, we recognize the risks involved in going to trial in certain cases.

An important goal of our criminal defense practice is to demonstrate to the court that our client is not a bad person merely because (s)he has been charged with a crime. We'll often advise our clients to position themselves for a successful sentence in the event we come to an agreeable plea compromise with the prosecution by obtaining independent psychological evaluations and enter into treatment programs long before guilt is established. Expert testimony and reports can help our clients in many ways, from dismissal of charges to reduction in charges to probationary sentences.
