Indecent Exposure and Aggravated Indecent Exposure

Facing a Michigan indecent exposure charge is scary. Fortunately, things are not usually as bad as you probably fear. Thoughts of having going to jail and having to register as a sex offender can keep you up at night. The good news is that my team and I can almost always avoid those things.

In this article, we’re going to look at how you can de-stress and get relief from both indecent exposure and aggravated indecent exposure charges.

To keep things simple, we’ll refer to both offenses as “indecent exposure,” unless we need to differentiate one from the other. Our firm handles a lot of these cases. In fact, I doubt there is any firm that handles more indecent exposure charges than ours. My team and I are exceptionally good at them.

I can say that without reservation that, of the hundreds and hundreds of clients we’ve represented for just indecent or aggravated indecent exposure charges, NOT ONE has ever gone to jail. We have an unbeatable 100% success rate in that regard.

There is a lot of work required to properly defend an indecent exposure charge. Ultimately, though, if you’re facing one, you want to hand it off to a lawyer who can take the burden off your shoulders and make things better. It takes years upon years, and a whole lot of experience, to really know how to best handle either an indecent exposure or aggravated indecent exposure case in the Greater-Detroit area.

A lawyer may have an incredible record of winning murder trials, but that doesn’t mean he or she knows enough about indecent exposure charges to get the best possible results.

Over the years, I have written and published over many articles about indecent exposure cases. I’d encourage the reader to explore the indecent exposure and aggravated indecent exposure section of our blog, as well as the indecent exposure results and the indecent exposure help sections of our website for more information.

Within our blog articles, the reader can learn about every facet of  indecent exposure charges. They explain things like why sex offender registration typically is NOT a legal possibility in most indecent exposure cases. They also explore the very limited exceptions to that, and why registration is required in those rare cases.

As mentioned above, there comes a point when a person facing an indecent exposure charge just wants to turn his or her problem over to an experienced lawyer who can fix the situation. Part and parcel of the experience my team and I have is that we limit our criminal practice to the local courts of the Metro-Detroit area.

For us, that means Wayne, Oakland, Macomb and a few of the surrounding counties. We appear in the same courts all the time.

We know how to produce the best results in these courts. We know what will fly (and what won’t) not just in general, but before any particular judge in the Greater-Detroit area. Without reservation, I can state that NO LAWYER can handle an indecent exposure charge better – specifically meaning more successfully for the client – than me and my team.

That’s all well and fine for us, but it’s human nature for a person to want answers to his or her burning questions right away. In other words, now that we’re in the Information Age, it’s normal for someone facing an indecent exposure (or any criminal) charge to hop online and try to find answers to his or her questions before looking for a lawyer.

There’s nothing inherently wrong with that, but it does come with risks, the biggest of which is simply getting it wrong.

This isn’t an insult to anyone. Even lawyers have to stay within their lanes:

• Divorce lawyers handle divorce cases
• Patent attorneys work with patent law
• Immigration lawyers manage immigration cases

Certain criminal lawyers deal with white collar crimes, while others concentrate in capital offenses like murder cases.

The best lawyer to defend a murder or corporate tax evasion case is almost certainly NOT the right lawyer for an indecent exposure charge.

Thus, as we noted at the outset, merely being a lawyer doesn’t mean someone knows the best way to handle indecent exposure cases. For as smart as I know my team and I to be, the simple truth is that we’ve learned how to best handle indecent exposure charges through experience.

Extensive experience.

Any person is going to be better at doing something the 500th time than he or she was the 100th time. He or she will inevitably learn things by experience that you can’t pick up through study alone.

I could literally write a book (and a big one, at that) about the strategies and techniques my team and I use, and the experts we bring in, to get our clients out of hot water when they’re facing an indecent exposure charge. That’s not bragging; it’s just a fact. It’s just plain unhelpful for some lawyer to NOT realize he or she isn’t experienced with a particular kind of case.

The best thing a person facing an indecent exposure charge can do is hand this problem over to a criminal attorney who has a lot of experience with these cases. To be clear, our firm only handles criminal cases in the Greater-Detroit area, as mentioned above. Anyone whose case is beyond our geographic practice area should still follow that advice and look around for a lawyer who regularly gets to the court where his case is pending.

Of course anyone facing an indecent exposure charge in the Metro-Detroit area should give us a ring. A key part of our marketing strategy is to tell anyone looking for a lawyer to explore his or her options and call around to different lawyers. We WANT potential clients to compare us with everyone else.

After all, if you’re going to hand over your money and your problem to some lawyer, you need to know you’ve chosen the right one. The only way to get real relief is to make sure you’ve hired the lawyer who will best protect your interests.

Ultimately, the goal in any criminal case is to either get out of it completely, or, if that’s not possible, to avoid as many of the legal penalties and negative consequences as possible.

Success in a criminal case is always best measured by what does NOT happen to you.

Anyone who hires a lawyer for an indecent exposure charge deserves the confidence of knowing they’ll get the best results humanly and legally possible because they have good representation. No lawyer can do more, and my team and I will never do less.

If you’re facing an indecent exposure charge and your case is pending in the Metro-Detroit area, make sure you give our office a ring.

All of our consultations are free, confidential, and done over the phone, right when you call. My team and I are very friendly people who will be glad to answer your questions and explain how everything works. We’ll even be happy to compare notes with anything some other lawyer has told you.

We can be reached Monday through Friday, from 8:30 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. (EST), at 586-465-1980, or any of the phone numbers you see above.
