Lake County, Illinois Sex Crimes Defense Attorney

Experienced Criminal Defense Lawyer Lake County, Illinois

Nothing is quite so frightening and humbling as being charged with a sexual offense, as the penalties for these crimes are extremely harsh, carrying a serious social stigma as well. Unlike most crimes where you are considered innocent until proven guilty, charges of a sexual nature can cause strangers—as well as co-workers, friends and family members—to judge you guilty before you ever step into a courtroom. In fact, in many cases, those charged with a sexual offense may find that their attorney is literally the only person firmly on their side.
