Sex Crimes | Sexual Assault

Illinois Sex Crimes Lawyer | DuPage County Sexual Assault Attorney

Being labeled a sex offender is a stigma that shadows your existence, requiring lifetime registration, notification of residence, and exclusion from certain job opportunities. In addition, certain sexual felonies carry stiff prison terms, which depending on the class of felony under Illinois statutes may receive a sentence of up to 30 years.

When sex offenses involve children, repercussions are the greatest, in terms of punishment from the criminal justice system and community backlash. Officials swept up in social outrage may deny constitutional rights or arrest targets without substantial evidence. Fear of prison life and brutal treatment by guards or inmates frequently haunt those accused of sex offenses.

'I would like to thank you for handling my recent problem. Not being a person who frequents incidents with the authorities I felt it would be in my best interest to seek your assistance in the matter. I felt a whole lot better knowing I had representation. Not knowing what might develop in such matters can be nerve wracking and I especially didn’t know where this was all going. You certainly made me more comfortable with it. […] The system is what it is and now I am better informed as to how to handle such matters in the future. I have passed both your name and the firm’s name on to friends already, and should I ever need your services again, your number is always with me. Thank you again for all you’ve done for me, and thank your [paralegal], for her patience with me.'
