Awards & Recognition

Previous Wins

Real criminal sexual conduct cases. Real results.

Case Dismissed

Our client was charged with 1st degree criminal sexual conduct and facing a minimum of 25 years in prison for touching his friend’s daughter during the middle of the night. After the preliminary examination, the charges were significantly reduced to 2nd degree CSC. Ultimately, on the day of trial, the case was completely dismissed by the prosecution.

Charges Dropped

Juvenile client was accused of sexually assaulting three different people at various parties while drinking alcohol. We were able to gather evidence from the school and other sources to show a plot to accuse our client from a group of “friends” looking to get him in trouble. Once revealed, all charges were dropped.

Not Guilty

Client was formally charged with 3rd and 4th degree criminal sexual conduct for allegedly sexually assaulting his daughter’s 14-year-old best friend . After a week long jury trial in Eaton County, our client was found NOT GUILTY on all counts and the case was dismissed. 

Not Guilty

Client charged with sexually assaulting his 4-year-old daughter; found not guilty of first degree criminal sexual conduct (a life offense with 25-year mandatory prison time if convicted).

Multiple Counts Not Guilty

Not Guilty of 10 Counts of CSC

Charges Dismissed

Client charged with criminal sexual conduct including counts that would require the 25-year mandatory minimum; charges dropped the night before trial started after the defense located a witness who destroyed the prosecution’s case.

Favorable Resolution

Client faced a re-trial on a 2-complainant case that was going to likely hang a second time; after 10 hours of deliberations, the client was offered a deal to no sex offender registry, no jail/prison and it was too good to pass up to put the case behind him.

Not Guilty of 20 Counts

Client was accused by his daughter and faced 25-year mandatory minimums. Hearing the jury say “not guilty” 20 times was surreal!

Not Guilty

Client found NOT GUILTY on three counts of criminal sexual conduct with three different alleged victims.  Client avoided 25-year mandatory minimum, prison/jail, registry, and deportation.
