Sex Crimes

Being charged with a sex crime can lead to a prison sentence and give you a reputation that will follow you for the rest of your life.

I assist clients accused of a wide range of sex crimes including gross sexual imposition (GSI) and Internet sex crimes.

I have extensive experience in these matters and will put you in the best position possible to achieve a successful outcome. I have tried these cases before the court and juries, and will not hesitate to take your case to trial if it is in your best interest.
