Garden City Sex Crimes Defense Attorney

Being accused of a sex crime in Garden City, Michigan, can have life-changing consequences. These allegations often carry serious legal penalties, social stigma, and lasting damage to your reputation—even before a conviction. At the Law Office of Julian J. Poota, PLLC, we understand how sensitive and high-stakes these cases are. With over 20 years of experience, we fight aggressively to defend our clients’ rights and futures in sex crime cases across Garden City and throughout Wayne County.

Types of Sex Crime Charges We Defend in Garden City

We represent individuals charged with a wide range of sex-related offenses, including:

  • Criminal Sexual Conduct (CSC) – First through Fourth Degree
  • Statutory Rape / Age of Consent Violations
  • Sexual Assault
  • Child Pornography Possession or Distribution
  • Internet Sex Crimes / Solicitation of a Minor
  • Indecent Exposure / Gross Indecency

Penalties for Sex Crime Convictions in Michigan

Sex crime penalties are among the harshest under Michigan law and may include:

  • Lengthy prison sentences (25 years to life for CSC 1st Degree)
  • Mandatory sex offender registration under SORA (Sex Offenders Registration Act)

  • Permanent damage to reputation and relationships

Even misdemeanor-level sex crimes can result in jail time and mandatory registration.

Why You Need a Sex Crimes Defense Attorney

Sex crime accusations often rely heavily on witness testimony, forensic evidence, and digital communications. Police and prosecutors may seem aggressive in gathering statements—sometimes before you even realize you’re a suspect. An experienced defense lawyer can:

  • Protect your constitutional rights during investigation and questioning
  • Challenge the credibility of witnesses and evidence
  • Retain forensic or psychological experts
  • Negotiate for reduced charges or alternative sentencing
  • Fight for dismissal or acquittal at trial

These cases are complex, emotional, and often involve misunderstood circumstances. You deserve a legal team that will not judge you, but instead work relentlessly to secure the best outcome.

How We Defend Against Sex Crime Allegations

At the Law Office of Julian J. Poota, PLLC, we craft strategic defenses tailored to the facts of your case. Possible defense approaches include:

  • Consent was given and mutual
  • False accusations or mistaken identity
  • Insufficient or inadmissible evidence
  • Violation of your rights during the investigation
  • Entrapment in internet sting operations

We treat every client with dignity and fight to protect their future in and out of the courtroom.
