For many people the implications of sex offender registration can be the worst consequence of a sex crime conviction - even worse than prison! People on the registry find their lives have become a living hell. Their privacy is invaded, their children are tormented at school, their wives and family members receive threatening letters. This harassment will follow you from community to community, whether it is Ludington in Mason County, Detroit, or Lansing in Ingham County or anywhere in between.

At Kronzek & Cronkright, we are a statewide Michigan law practice that focuses on sex crimes. Our lawyers have earned a statewide reputation for our case results, which include many dismissals and not guilty verdicts. In any sex crime case, our goal is to keep you from being convicted of a crime that will result in sex offender registration.

At least once a week, our attorneys receive a call from someone who has been blindsided by sex offender registration following the conclusion of their criminal case. Many of the people who call us are young people who plead guilty to a sex offense as a juvenile. Now they find that they are subject to sex offender registration starting on the 18th birthday. Sadly, there is nothing our lawyers can do to help these people. The time to fight sex offender registration is before you are convicted. All sex offenses are serious crimes.

In Michigan, anyone convicted of a felony sex crime, a misdemeanor sex crime involving a minor or multiple misdemeanor sex crimes is subject to sex offender registration. Many sex offense convictions require registration for 25 years. In Michigan there is a push to make sex offender registration a lifelong penalty. Your name, picture and address will be posted on Michigan's sex offender list Web site, which is one of the most popular governmental Web sites in Michigan. Sex offenders are barred from living within 1,000 yards of a school, playground, and other places frequented by children. Lifetime GPS monitoring through an ankle bracelet is required for some sex offenses.
