- Sex Crimes
In one recent defense case, attorney John Freeman of the Law Office of John Freeman successfully defended his client, a Ypsilanti-area realtor, against multiple counts of criminal sexual conduct. The client originally faced life in prison. The case went to trial before Judge Jinan Hamood in Washtenaw County.

The jury deliberated and found out client not guilty on all counts. The verdict cleared his name and put months of public scrutiny to rest. The case demonstrated how thorough preparation and focused cross-examination can change the outcome of criminal proceedings.

Criminal Sexual Conduct Charges in Michigan: What’s at Stake
Criminal sexual conduct charges are among the most serious offenses under Michigan law.

When the System Gets It Right
The recent Washtenaw County verdict reflects how America’s justice system works when due process is allowed to run its course.
