An Experienced Lawyer Who Fights for You
If you have been accused of a sex crime, it is critical that you get an experienced attorney involved as soon as possible. Your attorney may be able to fight the charges before they are even filed.
At Patel Law, PC, we begin fighting for our clients from the moment we are hired. Our Illinois law office uses years of experience, in-depth knowledge and resources to help our clients achieve the best possible results. We know that clients facing allegations involving sex crimes need help right away. We do everything possible within the scope of the law to protect their rights and their freedom.
Our Illinois law firm handles a broad range of sex offenses:
- Criminal sexual assault (often called "rape"), involving force or violence used against an adult
- Predatory criminal sexual assault of a child, often alleged against strangers or family members
- Child abuse, including allegations of touching, molesting or penetration
- Possession of child pornography
- Solicitation of a minor
Many people accused of sex crimes worry about the penalties they may face. Some sex offenses carry mandatory prison time if you are convicted. You may also face registration requirements as a sexual offender, even if the alleged crime is just a misdemeanor. You may be prohibited from going to parks or schools, and you may be prohibited from living or working where you would like.
Our law firm uses years of criminal defense experience to fight sex crime charges. We seek acquittals for our clients. To do this, we often rely on DNA analysis as well as elements of criminal procedure, criminal law and a thorough analysis of the facts. We will interview witnesses, analyze the evidence and go to trial to defend a client's right.
