Few accusations move faster or hit harder than a sexual assault allegation. Even before a single piece of evidence is tested, your name, your job, and your relationships can already be affected. If you’ve been accused, you need a lawyer who will handle your case seriously, discreetly, and without rushing to judgment before hearing your side.
A Defense Built on Experience, Not Assumptions
Dan B. Gerson has defended sexual assault cases in Houston since 1974 and has been a Board Certified Criminal Law Specialist since 1979. Our firm has taken sexual assault cases to trial and won, including a not-guilty verdict in a case involving an allegation of sexual assault of a child, and has also successfully resolved related charges such as indecency and public lewdness. You can review these and other documented results on our results page.
These cases often come down to the reliability of a single accusation, the handling of forensic evidence, the timeline of events, and whether proper investigative procedure was followed. We examine every one of those pieces independently, because the state’s narrative is not automatically the true one.
