As bad as prison is, for many people the implications of sex offender registry are the worst consequence of a sex crime conviction. People on the registry find their lives have become a living hell. Their children are harassed at school, their wives and family members receive threatening letters and their privacy is invaded by "drive-bys." This torment will follow you from community to community, whether it is Ludington in Mason County, or Cass County or Gratiot County.

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.

Approximately once a week, our lawyers 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 and now find out that they are subject to sex offender registration starting on their 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 offenses require registration for 25 years, although the momentum in Michigan is for lifetime reporting. 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 or a playground. Lifetime GPS monitoring through an ankle bracelet is required for some sex offenses.

To protect yourself from the drastic consequences of sex offender registration, you need an attorney who deals with this issue often enough to avoid the traps. It does not matter if your offense is in Osceola or Oceana Counties, Birmingham or Crawford County, you can find that attorney at Kronzek & Cronkright.
