Violent crimes come in many different forms. I confidently handle all types of violent crimes, including:

Sex Offenses, Including Rape
In Illinois, the range of possible sex offenses has terminology that can be quite confusing. An accused sex offender may believe that a certain act may constitute permissible conduct, when it actually falls into one of several sex offense categories. I can help accused individuals understand the differences between these categories and determine a strategy for defending against the charges listed below.

  • Aggravated criminal sexual assault
  • Criminal sexual assault
  • Aggravated criminal sexual abuse
  • Criminal sexual abuse

I am dedicated to helping my clients aggressively fight for their rights throughout their case and afterward. Get in touch with me today to schedule your free initial consultation.
