Avoiding Serious Consequences of Assault Charges

Drew Rahaim has practiced in criminal law for over 25 years. You are hiring a skilled trial lawyer, investigator and negotiator who examines all the evidence and circumstances of your case. He may be able to get charges dismissed if witnesses give conflicting accounts, the alleged victim gives inconsistent statements, or there is a lack of physical evidence or procedural problem in how police gathered it. In other cases, he can arrange a plea to simple assault, disorderly conduct or offensive touching.

It may be necessary to take your case to a jury or judge. Mr. Rahaim has an extensive and successful record at trial, but he will not take that course unless it is in your best interest and he is assured that you understand the risks of a guilty verdict, including possible prison time or registration as a sex offender.

If you are facing assault and sex crime charges, the potential penalties require a lawyer who knows what he or she is doing. Contact Rahaim & Saints at our Wilmington office (302-892-9200) and Newark office (302-832-1800) to arrange a free consultation with Drew Rahaim.
