Denver Sex Crimes Attorney

If you are accused of, or are being investigated for a sex crime, it is absolutely necessary that you retain representation from a knowledgeable Denver sex crimes attorney. Police may use aggressive tactics in order to get a confession from you, and will investigate your life for periods of time that will invade your privacy and can potentially damage your reputation. Obtaining a lawyer can help protect your privacy during the investigation, as well as prevent you from incriminating yourself during interrogations and interviews.

sex crime cases are emotional jurors

that are called for jury service to hear

those types of cases often have a lot of

sympathy for an alleged victim and can

start out with some prejudice against a

defendant in a case like that and part

of the attorney’s job when handling

those cases is to explain to the jurors

that they need to take sympathy and

Prejudice out of it and take a clinical

approach to the facts of the case and

give the defendant a full and fair

opportunity to present his side of the

case and really take all of the emotion

out of it and come to a just verdict in

a sex assault case

I’ve handled sex crime cases since 2003

I’ve taken many of them to trial I’m

comfortable asserting consent defenses

in those types of cases or in cases

where there is a complete lack of any

type of physical or forensic evidence

I’m comfortable asserting defenses that

the contact or the penetration never

occurred in the first place

Michael Sheehan understands that those facing sex crime charges need a committed Denver sex crimes attorney on their side. He also knows that, given a proper defense, those accused stand a much greater chance of fighting their charges and avoiding the devastating consequences such as jail time and required sex offender registration.

Unfortunately, there have been far too many cases where people get convicted simply because of either a lack of effective representation, or because they were not able to be advised by an attorney early enough in the case. Our goal is to ensure that none of our clients ever have this experience.

in sex crime cases it’s common for the

defendant to assert that any contact

between himself or herself in the

alleged victim in a case was consensual

and in those cases the prosecution has

to prove Beyond a reasonable doubt that

the contact was not consensual or

alternatively in a case where there is

really no physical evidence or forensic

evidence it’s just a case that’s based

on the word of one person and that’s the

alleged victim it’s common to see

defendants assert that there was no

contact in the first place that there

was absolutely no sexual contact of any

kind that took place
