What would you do if your future, reputation, and freedom were on the line—and you were being judged by people who only had part of the story? That’s exactly what’s at stake in a sexual assault case. The charges alone can cause irreversible harm, even before a trial begins. In Texas, false or exaggerated claims do happen, and the consequences can be devastating. That’s why experience isn’t just helpful—it’s essential.

At the Law Office of Robert M. Maurer II & Associates, we understand what’s on the line. With over 30 years of trial experience across San Antonio and surrounding counties, our firm provides the skilled and deeply personal legal defense individuals need when facing serious allegations like these. We don’t just know criminal law—we live it. And we treat every case like the stakes are as high as they are.

In this blog, we’ll walk through some key defense strategies used in these cases, and why choosing an experienced legal team makes a critical difference.

Defense Strategies That Require Experience

Sexual assault defense is one of the most complex areas of criminal law. Each case demands a careful review of facts, forensic evidence, and witness credibility. Having the right criminal defense attorney can mean the difference between conviction and acquittal. Here’s why:

• Challenging Credibility and Motives: We know how to question inconsistencies in the accuser’s story and bring up motives that may lead to false accusations.
• Analyzing Forensic Evidence: DNA, medical reports, and digital evidence can be misinterpreted without proper legal context. We ensure the evidence is analyzed accurately and fairly.
• Handling Pretrial Motions: Filing to suppress unlawful searches or improperly obtained statements can weaken the prosecution’s case before it even goes to court.
• Selecting the Right Jury: We’ve spent decades reading jurors, asking the right questions, and identifying biases that may hurt your defense.

Why Your Defense Needs to Be Personal

Too many law firms treat clients like case numbers. We don’t. In sex assault cases, the emotional toll is high—and we’re here to guide our clients through every step. Our attorneys speak Spanish, know the communities we serve, and stay available 24/7 to answer questions and provide support. That level of dedication builds trust—and trust is a critical part of preparing a strong defense.
