Sex Offense Cases We Handle
Allegations include sexual assault, statutory offenses, indecent liberties, online solicitation, and sexual exploitation involving digital evidence. These cases often rely on one person’s account, device forensics, and social media records. J. Michael Mills moves quickly to preserve messages, examine timelines, and evaluate whether the state can meet its burden. When charges overlap with violent felonies, review our violent crimes defense resources for context on high-stakes litigation.
Understanding The Consequences
Sex convictions carry severe penalties and, in many cases, sex offender registration that can last decades. Housing and employment restrictions follow. Because outcomes shape a lifetime, the defense aims to avoid registerable convictions whenever possible through dismissal, acquittal, or negotiation to non-registerable alternatives. If charges are dismissed or you are found not guilty, ask about expungement relief to clear records from public view.
Strategic Defense For Sensitive Allegations
The firm scrutinizes interviews for leading questions, examines forensic reports for gaps, and challenges improper searches of phones and computers. Where credibility is central, texts, location data, and witness histories matter. J. Michael Mills balances firm advocacy with discretion, preparing clients for every step and pursuing resolutions that protect family and work life while defending the case in court when required.
