Sexual Assault
"Unfortunately, false complaints are made more frequently than the Crown would like to admit."
Engel and Lewandowski understand how life-changing this charge can be. Despite lip-service to the presumption of innocence, the fact is that most people assume that you're guilty from day one. "It is a very tough time because the whole world is crushing down on you." Most clients have never had to deal with the police before and it can be a terrifying and nerve-wracking time.
If you have been called to go to the police station, you should contact Engel and Lewandowski right away. Years of experience have taught Bruce Engel that prevention in this scenario is invaluable. "Innocent people get accused of crimes all the time. Before you speak to the police, you should know exactly why they want to speak to you. They won't provide you with that information over the phone, but they will tell your lawyer."
The Crown is compelled to prosecute all but the most hopeless of cases of sexual assault. Engel and Lewandowski will give you the immediate advice you need to get through the process of being charged and questioned. The right to remain silent is a right that you should never be afraid to claim.
Engel and Lewandowski have successfully defended many sexual assault cases and have experience handling both single and multiple complainant prosecutions. When family, friends and co-workers seem to walk away, Engel and Lewandowski will be there to support you and fight for your rights.
