Sex Crimes

Allegations involving sex crimes are among the most serious charges a person can face. These cases carry severe legal consequences, long-term reputational damage, and the potential requirement to register as a sex offender. Our firm brings decades of experience handling these cases, including experience from both sides of the courtroom.

Since the firm’s founding, we have represented individuals accused of a wide range of sex-related offenses and understand the high stakes involved. Our focus is on building a strong, strategic defense aimed at protecting your rights, your record, and your future.

If you are under investigation or have been charged, it is critical that you do not speak with law enforcement before consulting an attorney.

We also strongly advise speaking with an attorney before agreeing to any form of testing or questioning requested by investigators. These decisions can carry serious legal consequences and should be made with a full understanding of your rights and options.

STAY OFF SEX OFFENDER REGISTRY

Michigan Sex Offense Attorney

Under Michigan’s Sex Offender Registration Act (SORA), individuals convicted of certain offenses may be required to register as a sex offender. In some cases, registration may still be imposed even if the conviction is for a lesser offense, depending on the circumstances.

Registration can last for decades or even a lifetime and comes with strict reporting requirements. Failure to comply can result in additional felony charges.

Beyond legal penalties, registration can significantly affect your ability to find employment, secure housing, and maintain your reputation. Restrictions on where you can live and ongoing reporting obligations can impact nearly every aspect of daily life.

Because of these consequences, it is critical to approach these cases with a strong and informed defense strategy. Our firm understands the seriousness of these charges and works to pursue outcomes that avoid or minimize long-term consequences whenever possible.
