Guilty Until Proven Innocent
Just being accused of a sex offense is enough to damage a person’s reputation or career. An arrest and/or criminal charges often cause the public to assume that the defendant is guilty, regardless of the facts of the case. Needless to say, a conviction will permanently change a defendant’s life.
Wide-Ranging Consequence
Many sex crime convictions require lifetime registration on the Michigan sex offender registry and national registry. Sex offender registration will affect your ability to get jobs, find housing and get custody of your children. If you have been accused of or charged with a sex crime, it is critical that you speak with a criminal defense attorney immediately. We can take action to protect your rights and reputation.
While each case is unique, we have successfully obtained jury acquittals on these charges in many of the surrounding counties. In 2013, we took a trial judge to the court of appeals and got a case thrown out without having to go to trial.
An Aggressive Defense Is Vital
With so much at stake, you cannot afford to trust your defense to an inexperienced lawyer. Mr. Swor has more than 50 years of experience and is well-known for his skill as a trial lawyer. Sex crime cases go to trial more often than nonviolent crimes, so it is critical that your attorney has the experience and reputation necessary to protect you at trial.

- Rape and statutory rape
