Sex Crimes Defense Attorney in Michigan

Facing a sex crime accusation is one of the most serious and life-altering situations anyone can experience. A conviction can impact your freedom, your reputation, your ability to work, and even where you can live. Our firm provides strategic, aggressive defense for individuals charged with sex crimes throughout Michigan, offering skilled guidance and unwavering support at every stage of the case.

We understand the high stakes—and we know how to protect your rights. 

Understanding Michigan Sex Crime Laws

Michigan has some of the strictest sex crime statutes in the country, covering a wide range of offenses with severe penalties. These charges often involve complicated legal definitions, sensitive evidence, and cases that move quickly. From the moment an allegation is made, law enforcement begins gathering digital data, statements, forensic reports, and other evidence that can shape the entire case.

Our team helps you understand the laws that apply, how the state builds its case, and what rights you have during investigations, interviews, and court hearings. 

Why You Need an Experienced Sex Crimes Defense Attorney

Sex crime cases require a unique level of experience, precision, and strategy. These cases often involve:

  • High-emotion accusations
  • Digital footprints and forensic evidence
  • Complex Michigan statutes
  • Mandatory minimum sentencing
  • Long-term registration requirements

A skilled attorney can challenge improper procedures, expose weaknesses in the state’s evidence, protect you from self-incrimination, and build a strong defense tailored to the facts of your situation.

Your future depends on the quality of your defense—this is not a case to face alone.

Leverage of a Former Prosecutor

As a former prosecutor, your attorney knows exactly how the state builds sex crime cases, where the weaknesses often lie, and how to counter the prosecution’s strategy before it gains momentum. This inside perspective helps anticipate the state’s next step, challenge questionable evidence, and negotiate from a position of strength.

This advantage is critical in cases involving digital evidence, witness statements, medical reports, and expert testimony.

Richard S.

I tried to navigate the MI reinstatement process alone and failed. I live out of state and was lost, until I found Mr. Kaplan. He jumped in and helped me navigate the system. He never once made me feel like a criminal, or a bad person for the mistakes I’ve made. He listened, he supported, and he was professional the whole time. I wouldn’t have been able to do this without him. I went 15 years without a license and Josh helped change that for me. Highly recommend!

Not only is he good at what he does, but he has a big heart and genuinely wants to help.
