Hire an Attorney Who Has Handled Your Type of Case, Not Just Any Lawyer

Many people do not realize just how much is at stake by being involved in a sex crime investigation. While being implicated in any crime can take a toll on one’s peace of mind, the social implications of sex crimes mean that even the mere allegation of culpability can have serious impact on an individual’s life in profound ways. In addition to emotional stress, allegations of sexual criminal misconduct can impact one’s employment, damage one’s social standing, affect personal relationships, and disrupt family relationships particularly if Child Protective Services (CPS) becomes involved. When so much is at stake, you cannot afford to rely upon a “one-size-fits-all” Michigan defense attorney. What you need is someone who fully understands what you are going through, and who is committed to the principle of “innocent until proven guilty.”
