Defense Strategies Me and My Team Use
At The Law Offices of Kensley Barrett, we aggressively challenge the prosecution's case using defenses such as:
False Allegations
Jealousy, divorce, custody issues, and revenge can lead to fabricated claims.
Consent Defense
If the interaction was consensual, we work to prove it with digital evidence, messages, witness statements, and more.
Lack of Physical or Forensic Evidence
Many cases rely solely on accusations with no scientific proof.
Mistaken Identity / Alibi
We use GPS data, surveillance footage, and witnesses to prove you were not present.
Police Rights Violations
If law enforcement violated your constitutional rights, we file motions to suppress evidence.
Just because you were accused does NOT mean you will be convicted.
