Challenging Digital Forensic Evidence
Skokie police use “voluntary” device handovers or quick interviews to bypass warrant rules. Never hand over a phone or computer without a lawyer present.

Our attorneys work to keep you off the registry by addressing your case before trial.
Frequently Asked Questions
Below are our answers to common questions about sex crime charges in Illinois.
Can a sex crime charge be dropped if the accuser changes their mind?
People assume the complaining witness controls the case. They do not. In Cook County, the state’s attorney holds the sole power to drop or reduce charges. Our attorneys engage directly with prosecutors to challenge their proof.
Will I automatically have to register if charged?
No. A conviction or specific court findings trigger registration – not simply being charged. Fear of public exposure traps many people facing these charges, but our attorneys target legal errors and rights violations to block a conviction entirely, prioritizing keeping you off the Illinois Sex Offender Registry.
