Solicitation of a Minor

Our Ann Arbor Attorneys for Defense of Solicitation of a Minor Charges

25+ Years Defending Internet Solicitation Charges in Southeast Michigan

With increased focus, Michigan and federal law enforcement agencies are devoting resources towards investigating and prosecuting people for Internet crimes, including solicitation of minors and other computer crimes. Without question, this is one of the most common federal and state charges, especially over the last decade. A defendant who is convicted of an Internet solicitation charge might be jailed, imprisoned, fined, subject to a criminal record, removed from their children, and required to maintain long-term sex offender registration on Michigan's Public Registry. And yet, computers are far from reliable when used as the underlying basis for a criminal charge. A computer malfunction, glitch or operation error should not result in punishment for Internet solicitation.

When allegations of Internet solicitation or criminal sexual conduct threaten a person's freedom, the skilled criminal defense attorneys in Ann Arbor at Geherin Law Group combine state-of-the-art defense technology and decades of experience in Southeast Michigan courts to protect their clients' rights.

Our attorneys prepare each case as if it is going to trial. We excel at analysis of computer evidence and firmly hold the state to its burden of proof. We utilize our years' of criminal trial experience and training to persuade judges and juries.

Why put your future in the hands of just any criminal defense lawyer who advertises on TV or in the phone book? At GLG, our track record of success in criminal sexual conduct cases speaks for itself, and is a matter of public record.

Your Best Defense to Solicitation of a Minor Charges

When prosecutors present a case of Internet solicitation charges against a defendant, any number of things can go wrong, including:

• The defendant may have been mistakenly caught in a police Internet sting.
• Someone else may be unfairly incriminating a defendant, or attempting to blackmail them, by using their identity on the Internet.
• A computer glitch or malfunction may have accidentally sent the defendant to the wrong Internet website.
• A defendant's comments in a "chat room" may have been misconstrued entirely.

If you have been arrested and jailed for solicitation of a minor, or your computer has been confiscated by police, there is no time to waste. Contact GLG so your rights can be protected immediately.

The Role of Technology in Your Defense

Digital communication is the centerpiece of most solicitation cases. That’s why we use sophisticated tools and trusted forensic IT professionals to analyze:

• Chat logs and conversation timestamps
• IP addresses and geolocation records
• Usernames and authentication histories
• Deleted or hidden files recovered from computers or phones
• Metadata attached to videos, images, or attachments

This level of analysis can be critical in proving that a conversation was manipulated, incomplete, taken out of context—or didn’t involve you at all. We leave no file unturned in defending our clients.

When the Accusations Are False

When clients are falsely accused or their digital identities are stolen and misused, we’ve handled cases where:

• An ex-partner or acquaintance uses someone’s account to send explicit messages
• A roommate or coworker accesses a shared device and engages in illegal activity
• Children or minors in the household access adult accounts and get involved in chat rooms
• Hackers or impersonators plant illegal material on a device

If your computer or phone has been confiscated, it is vital that you do not attempt to delete or modify anything. Instead, let our team preserve and analyze the evidence to build the strongest possible defense. 

Here’s What Our Clients Are Saying 

“Dan was wonderful! I have worked with a number of attorneys in the past for various reasons and never felt as satisfied with outcome as I did in this case. I knew right away at our initial consultation that Mr. Geherin was the one for the job and I feel he worked hard from beginning to end to get me the absolute best outcome possible. He also made me feel at ease during one of my darkest times. I would most definitely recommend his services.”

Anonymous, Avvo Review

“I would definitely recommend Mr. Geherin! In my case my previous lawyer told me that there was no chance of winning and persuaded me to plead guilty; however, I found Mr. Geherin, and he ends up helped me get my case dismissed. He doesn't make any unnecessary promises at first, but instead patiently explain every possibility the case can go and works hard to do everything he can. I can't be more happy that I hired Mr. Geherin as my lawyer, and he literally changed my life through winning this case.”
