Protecting the Rights of the Accused
Some people believe that a rape can only occur outside of a relationship, such as when someone is sexually assaulted on the street or by a stranger at a party. They're wrong. Rape involves any forced oral, anal or vaginal penetration including by a spouse (marital rape), a girlfriend, a boyfriend, a relative, or a friend.
If you are facing rape or date rape charges in Nassau County, Suffolk County or anywhere in New York City, you can trust in the Brill Legal Group to provide you with aggressive and experienced defense representation.

Rape allegations can be difficult to defend. The case may become a "he said, she said" situation. Other cases may involve DNA or other strong circumstantial evidence. However, as a former Nassau County assistant district attorney, Peter E. Brill understands how the prosecution approaches these cases. Our law firm works to challenge the evidence against you and locate the weaknesses in the prosecution's case. We handle all forms of rape defense cases, including:
- Date rape
- Marital rape/spousal rape
- Statutory rape
- Child rape
- Forcible rape
Each situation is different, and we build defenses tailored to each client's specific needs. Our New York City sex crimes defense attorneys work hard to develop effective strategies.
- We utilize DNA experts to challenge the validity of any DNA evidence.
- When a case lacks DNA evidence, we use this fact to our client's advantage.
- We listen to our client's story. Was the act consensual?
- Did the police violate our client's rights by coercing a confession?
- Was the accuser known for making false accusations?
