The Need for an Aggressive Attorney
Sex crimes cases are unlike any other criminal charge. Due to the public’s revulsion of such crimes, sex crimes are explosive by their very nature. The presumption of innocence that is guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution can be put to the test in these cases.
If you have been charged with a sex crime, you need an attorney who is an experienced negotiator and trial lawyer. If your case is not dismissed or resolved by a plea agreement, you need an attorney who is unflinching, an attorney who will provide a vigorous defense on your behalf.

“Sex crime cases are probably the most time-consuming cases I have handled. In addition to time spent investigating and researching, I have to help clients psychologically. People charged with a sex crime are devastated. They feel like they have been judged by their community. I not only provide an aggressive defense for my clients — I prepare them for the fight at hand.” – Mary Ann Bird
