Sex Crimes Attorney in Michigan
Facing a sex crime allegation? At Coontz Law, we focus on you, providing compassionate, nonjudgmental defense because if you want a different outcome, you need a different kind of legal team.
Are you ready to OVERCOME?
It’s not by accident, and it’s not just because we’re antiauthoritarian (though that may play a role).
We’re different by design because we believe that most law firms cater to two things: inflated egos and navigating a broken legal system.
We focus on what truly matters—our clients, our team’s well-being, and making a real impact. While we’re far from perfect, we get 1% better every day.
It’s not about us; it’s about defending your rights. And with our unique approach, we aim to change the way sex crime defense works in Michigan.
What Constitutes a Sex Crime?
Sex crimes in Michigan cover a range of serious offenses that carry severe penalties, including:
-
- Criminal Sexual Conduct: Involves non-consensual sexual activity, which can result in prison time, fines, and lifetime sex offender registration.
- Sexual Assault: Covers unwanted sexual contact or advances, often leading to serious criminal charges and harsh sentences.
- Statutory Rape: Sexual activity with a minor, regardless of consent, often leading to felony charges.
- Indecent Exposure: Involves exposing one’s private parts in public, which can lead to jail time and a criminal record.
- Solicitation of Prostitution: Requesting or paying for sexual services, resulting in potential jail time and fines.
- Child Pornography: Possession, distribution, or production of child pornography carries some of the harshest penalties, including mandatory federal sentencing.
- Internet-Related Offenses: Involves crimes committed online, such as solicitation or trafficking, often prosecuted at the federal level.
Each of these offenses comes with serious, life-altering penalties, from lengthy prison sentences to mandatory sex offender registration. At Coontz Law, we recognize the gravity of these charges and work tirelessly to build a defense that addresses your unique situation.
