Building a Strong Defense in State and Federal Sex Crime Cases
Sex crime allegations not only expose the defendant to what could be a long prison sentence, but also sex offender registration obligations and a long-term stigma that can hurt you and your family for years to come. At the Law Office of Robert Kerr, LLC, in Chicago, we know how serious sex crime charges can be, and we subject each allegation to careful scrutiny. Our experience with the defense of cases ranging from child molestation to sexual assault can make a significant difference to the outcome of your case.
If you are being investigated for a sex crime, or if you have already been arrested for one, it is important to talk with an experienced sex crimes defense lawyer as soon as possible. Before your arrest, you are able to assert your right to an attorney, limit your exposure to certain criminal charges, or even prevent charges from being brought against you. Following your arrest, we can try to discuss your case with the prosecutor with the aim of persuading him or her to drop the charge or reduce it to a lesser one. In this manner, we have obtained dismissals and reduced charges for clients charged with serious sex crimes.
