Sex Crime Defense

No charge carries a heavier stigma — or higher stakes — than a sex offense. The accusation alone can cost you your job, your family, and your reputation before a single piece of evidence is heard. A conviction can mean decades in prison and lifetime registration. These cases are not for general practitioners. They are for trial lawyers.

Why Discretion Matters

Kielty Law is a boutique firm by design. Your case is handled personally, quietly, and professionally — by Mike, not a rotating cast of associates. Many of these cases are won before they're filed, in the investigation stage, by an attorney who gets involved early and controls the flow of information.

How These Cases Are Fought

• Credibility is the battlefield. Many sex cases come down to one person's word. Motive to fabricate, inconsistent statements, and timeline problems must be developed methodically.
• Forensic evidence cuts both ways. DNA, digital evidence, and forensic interviews of children all have rigorous protocols — and protocols get violated.
• Pretrial litigation. Statements, identifications, and searches are challenged before a jury is ever seated.

Call Before You Talk to Anyone

If a detective wants "your side of the story," that interview has one purpose: building a case against you. Politely decline, and call Mike — any hour, any day.
