Ann Arbor Sex Crimes Lawyer

A sex crime accusation in Ann Arbor can immediately put your freedom, reputation, education, career, and relationships at risk. Whether the allegation began near the University of Michigan campus, in downtown Ann Arbor, or elsewhere in Washtenaw County, the uncertainty can feel overwhelming.

Barone Defense Firm represents people facing serious sex crime allegations throughout Ann Arbor and across Michigan. If you are searching for an experienced sex crimes lawyer, our team is ready to protect your rights, your privacy, and your future from the very beginning.

Facing Sex Crime Charges in Ann Arbor?

Sex crime investigations can move quickly. A report to local police, a campus-related allegation, a Title IX matter, or a digital investigation can quickly become a criminal case in Washtenaw County.

Ann Arbor’s large student population and university community can make these cases especially complex. Allegations involving students, faculty, professionals, or visitors near the University of Michigan, Kerrytown, Burns Park, or the South University area may involve both criminal consequences and serious academic, professional, or reputational concerns.

Before speaking with investigators, it is important to have a defense team that understands what is at stake.

Sex Crimes We Defend in Ann Arbor

Barone Defense Firm defends individuals in Ann Arbor and Washtenaw County against a wide range of sex crime allegations, including:

  • Criminal Sexual Conduct
  • Sexual assault allegations
  • Internet sex crimes
  • Child pornography offenses
  • Solicitation charges
  • Indecent exposure
  • Sex offender registration violations
  • Cases involving minors
  • Campus-related sex crime allegations

Every case is different. Our team carefully reviews the evidence, witness statements, digital records, police reports, and the circumstances surrounding the accusation. For clients in Ann Arbor, that may also include understanding how a criminal case could affect school, work, licensing, or immigration concerns.

Consequences of a Sex Crime Conviction in Michigan

A sex crime conviction in Michigan can lead to incarceration, probation, fines, and mandatory sex offender registration. For someone living, studying, or working in Ann Arbor, the impact may reach far beyond the courtroom.

A conviction can affect professional licenses, graduate school opportunities, housing, employment, student status, and personal relationships. In a close and highly connected community like Ann Arbor, an allegation alone can create fear about reputation and future opportunities.

Because the stakes are so high, early action matters. Barone Defense Firm works to identify weaknesses in the prosecution’s case and build a defense strategy focused on protecting what matters most.

Client Reviews

★★★★★
Patrick Barone is the ONLY choice for DUI defense. He was realistic from the start and made it a point to look at my case before taking my money. As a business owner, when I think of attorneys, I think of the "shark infested waters. Patrick is a shark alright, but his prey is not the client; it's justice for his client. Ten stars Patrick!! Chris F.
★★★★★
Attorney Patrick Barone was very helpful and helped me understand the charge and sentence absolutely clearly. He also guided me through step by step helping me form a statement. His instructions were clear and detailed. It was obvious he cared about me understanding every important detail within my case. I would absolutely recommend this defense firm to anyone in need. Aaron B.
★★★★★
The Barone Defense Firm is the firm I recommend. They are truly concerned about the person, not just the legal issue, but the person as well. They are the most knowledgeable defense firm that I am aware of, having actually written the book on DWI Defense. If you are faced with a DWI you will not find a more professional and skilled law firm. But, most importantly, they care about how the accused individual recovers his or her life when the case is complete. Very remarkable group of lawyers. William H.
