This is a nasty situation, and your brother must have a criminal attorney to defend him in this case. One place you can find qualified lawyers is our website, http://attorneypages.com
The critical thing in cases like this is often credibility: who will be believed, or not. If the case goes to trial, each person who testifies will be subject to cross-examination, to put the credibility of her or his story to the test. Whether or not your brother actually testfies himself, if it comes to that, is a very crucial decision in many cases. There is no way someone who is not just a lawyer, but an experienced criminal lawyer, should be defending your brother.
