Waukesha County Sex Crimes Defense Attorneys
Experienced Lawyers for Those Charged With Sex-Related Offenses in Milwaukee County
A single allegation of a sex-based crime can ruin your life, even if you have done nothing wrong. In many such cases, the proceedings amount to one person's word against that of another. Considering that some sex crimes carry penalties of up to life in prison, not to mention residential restrictions and sex offender registration for life, it is imperative to address such accusations quickly and directly. At Bucher Law Group, LLC, we understand the importance of mounting a responsible, aggressive defense when you are facing charges related to a variety of sexual offenses.
We understand that a conviction on sex-related charges can result in severe criminal penalties and a lifetime of challenges. A person who is convicted may be required to register as a sex offender for the rest of his or her life, leading to serious obstacles in obtaining employment or finding a place to live. If you have been accused of committing a sex crime, you must take action immediately to preserve your future and protect your rights.
Sexual Assault Attorneys in Waukesha County
In the state of Wisconsin, the charge of sexual assault encompasses a wide range of sexual behavior, including sexual contact, intercourse, or computer use, as well as other types of inappropriate or unwelcome sexual behavior. Force or the threat of force may be part of an act that constitutes sexual assault, but the primary factor is the victim's lack of consent or lack of ability to consent. There are several degrees of sexual assault ranging in severity from a Class A misdemeanor to a Class B felony.

Helping Clients Facing Sex Crime Allegations in Southeast Wisconsin
Sex crimes, by their very nature, often create a presumption of guilt against the accused, even within his or her own family. Defendants are commonly treated as if they are guilty and not entitled to the same rights that each person is guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. At Bucher Law Group, LLC, we firmly believe that every client is innocent until proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt, even those who have been charged with sex offenses.
In many cases, allegations of sex crimes are brought by former partners, spouses, or others in retaliation for a relationship gone wrong or other perceived slights. Many times, they are used to gain leverage in family law proceedings including child custody cases. Regardless of the reasons, if you have been accused of committing a sex crime, you need an experienced attorney who will fight for you.
