Sex Crimes
Ready To Defend You Against Any Sexual Assault Charge
Sex Crimes Are Aggressively Prosecuted. You Need A Sex Crimes Attorney Who Is Equally Assertive.
- Internet or cybersex crimes, which include actions such as child enticement and Internet-based child pornography
- Sexual assault involving a minor, which includes sexual contact, sexual intercourse or merely not preventing the sexual assault of a minor
- Sexual assault due to lack of consent, which often involves intoxication, force or accidental contact
- Rape, which frequently comes down to a “he said/she said” situation in which an experienced sex crimes attorney can build a strong defense
Presumed Innocent In Theory But Not Always In Practice
In many ways, the stigma attached to merely being accused of a sex crime and being associated with sex offenders is a sentence in itself. You may be guilty of something or you may be guilty of nothing, but trust me, they will think you’re guilty of everything. This increases the importance of working with a lawyer who will be proactive in investigating your case. Many criminal defense firms showcase their experienced attorneys only to pass a case to a junior attorney with little or no experience once you have signed on as a client. I am a solo practitioner, which means you are guaranteed to work directly with me from the initial consultation through the resolution of your case.

WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I BELIEVE I AM UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR A SEX CRIME IN WISCONSIN?
People sometimes hear through the grapevine that they are being investigated for a sexual assault. Sometimes it comes in the form of a call from social service – they want to talk to you. Sometimes it comes because your ex tells you can’t see the children. Sometimes it comes because you learn from a friend that the police have been knocking on doors around you.
However you learn of it, the way not to handle it is to pick up the phone and call the investigating agency and say, “I hear you’re investigating me. I’d like to talk to you about that.” That is not the way to handle it.
The best way (and our recommended approach) is to get a sex crimes lawyer who has done this before and can run interference, find out what’s going on, contact all the appropriate authorities while counseling you to be quiet and wait for the right time for you to tell your side of the story.
Why is this important? In a sex crime allegation, anything you say can become a building block in a case, a false case, against you. So if you find out you’re under investigation, you need to get a hold of somebody who has handled these. As for the lawyers who tell you, “Well, just sit back and wait and see if anything comes of it,” turn and run like hell away from those people because they’re not the right lawyer.
If you’ve been accused of a sex crime, you need somebody who is going to be proactive, step up, contact the investigators, contact the DA, contact social services and basically give you a protective bubble against saying anything that can hurt your case. Because you might be guilty of something, you might be guilty of nothing, but trust me: they’ll believe you’re guilty of everything.
