If You Are Implicated in a Sex Offense, You Should Consult an Attorney Right Away

There is much at stake in being involved in a sex crime investigation—more than most people even realize. The mere allegation of a sex crime can have impacts on your life that are hard to cope with, from causing severe emotional stress, to strained marital or other family relationships and troubled or terminated employment. Many of these impacts can last far longer than your involvement in a case. If you become implicated in a sex crime investigation, you need to hire an experienced attorney—someone who can stand by your side to make sure that law enforcement personnel respect your rights and that all legal processes are being handled professionally.

Do not wait until matters escalate before hiring an attorney. Many people readily assume that their rights will be adequately protected by the operation of the legal system, or they trust law enforcement to treat them as “innocent until proven guilty” during the investigative stages of a crime. Unfortunately, in sex crime cases in particular, the emotionally charged aspects of a case can make prosecutors, law enforcement, and the public overeager to pin blame, even where evidence is scant. In cases involving minors, people can also be driven by anger, fear, and retribution, rather than hard facts. Don’t wait until you are in serious straits to find someone to represent your legal interests.

If you are accused or implicated in a sex crime in Alpena, Michigan, or another city within Alpena County, Michigan, do not hesitate to contact the lawyers at Grabel & Associates right away.
