Rape Charges Dismissed

September 9th, 2024

Table of Contents

    Jay’s family sought Attorney FitzGerald’s assistance because Jay was detained in jail due to having been accused of rape. When the family originally visited attorney FitzGerald, they did not have in their possession a copy of the police report, so attorney FitzGerald requested that the family obtain this from the court, so that he could review it before he would agree to represent Jay. When the family returned with the police report, attorney FitzGerald agreed to take the case.

    The police report indicated that the incident occurred in a vehicle while driving through the city of Boston. Attorney FitzGerald thought this was unusual and sought to obtain a statement from the driver in the car. After interviewing the driver, attorney FitzGerald learned that the incident actually had been recorded on video. Attorney FitzGerald was able to obtain a copy of the video and after submitting it to an expert to verify that it was an original and unaltered video, he presented it to the government as it demonstrated that it was a consensual act. Because the crime of rape requires evidence that the act was not consensual, the charges of rape were withdrawn by the government and dismissed by the Superior Court.

    I wouldn't hesitate to hire them if I needed to.

    My husband and I are going through the US immigration process through consular processing in Canada. We hit an unexpected hitch in our process, and we were panicked and seeking out attorneys who could advise us what was happening with my husband's case. This firm took my emotional call and talked me through where we were in our process, what the likely outcome and timeline was based on their past cases supported, etc. and talked through all the details of our case. We talked for a good 15-20 minutes and they didn't charge me a dime. I felt so re-assured by the end of the conversation that our case will resolve soon. We haven't gotten the visa issued just yet, but we're remaining hopeful and will be contacting this company again as soon as anything goes astray. I really appreciated their care for a potential client, considering how emotional and scary the process can be. I wouldn't hesitate to hire them if I needed to. Thank you again for taking my call, and explaining so much of the process to us. It's clear you take care of your clients, and this review felt like the least I could do as a thank you. We'll be in touch if we end up needing your services!
