Sex Crimes Attorney
Specialized Sex Crimes Defense Attorney- Michael Phillips
As an introduction my name is Michael Phillips and I assume since you are
researching sex crimes defense attorneys, you or someone you love has just
been accused or arrested alleging a sex offense. When someone is charged
with a life changing accusation a general practice attorney is not the answer.
Hopefully, you will notice right away some important differences about my site.
First: I do not handle every type of case under the sun. I do not do family law,
property law or personal injury cases. Instead, I have chosen to apply my
efforts with a focus on the crimes, laws and defenses I know best: sex crimes
defense. I take on tough cases other lawyers wont ( and honestly, probably
shouldn't) When hiring a lawyer, like a doctor, its best to hire one focusing on
the problem you have.
Second: Unlike most attorneys on the inter-net, I don't use scare tactics,
salespeople or try to impress you with a track record which can't be proven. To
be sure, even the accusation of a sex offense can be a life changer- but the
best thing is to arm yourself with knowledge. And as the old saying goes, "
knowledge is power" ... and the last thing the prosecutor wants you to have is
power.
Hopefully, you will find my site a good place to start to figure out your options
and answer your basic questions. On my web page, I provide straight forward
information about me, my firm and your defenses.
Third: In my 18 + years as a sex crimes defense attorney I have successfully
helped hundreds of families and individuals through this difficult time. The first
important step- is learning as much as you can and hopefully, you find my site
helpful. I will give you straight answers to your questions, and if I am not the
attorney for you, I'll do my utmost to refer you to one who is.
The Phillips Law Offices is not a referral firm and we don't make money
splitting lawyers fees. (There are enough of those on the Internet) We don't
practice nationwide or even statewide (As if that was truly possible).
There are lots of so called statewide criminal defense firms, which are really
nothing more than a referrel firm. They really don't have a local office or
attorney- I limit my practice to the local courts so I know the local judges and
prosecutors. My office is in Nevada County and I accept cases within about 100
miles so I can maintain personal contact with my clients.
I specialize on these most difficult cases to ensure you get the best
representation possible. I advocate AND I counsel. I have proven experience
handling these matters and I have the track record to prove it. But a strong
advocate isn't all you need. I want you to be educated and prepared, to
understand how the law works, the defenses and options available to you, and
what to expect at each new phase of the case. I have found a one-on-one
relationship is the ultimate key to success.
At the Phillips Law Offices, your attorney is the one in the firm name, and not an
associate lawyer. I have a full time staff to provide client service, but ultimately
personally handle each case. More importantly, I am not a
"Johnny-come-Lately" feeling good about putting folks in jail as a prosecutor
simply for a paycheck, then claiming to be a true advocate for rights of the
accused! I have spent 18+ years asking tough questions from the defense
side of the table, not easy questions to police officers or experts from the
prosecution side.
Lastly, sex crimes allegations can devastate a person's entire life even before
charges are filed. It has been said, "it is the deadliest accusation". If you, or a
loved one, has been accused of sexual misconduct of any kind, you need a sex
crimes attorney who understands how these accusations are made and how
to defend them. If you want to find out what can be done for your situation, I'll be
glad to talk with you. I know you will find my staff incredibly knowledgeable,
friendly and willing to help. I am confident that you'll be impressed with my firm
and what we will be able to do for you.
At The Phillips Law Offices, the goal is to prove innocence whenever possible,
to seek treatment when appropriate, and to maintain fairness and balance in
the system.
