Rape is an extremely serious offense that can be complex because of any number of extenuating circumstances.

Statutory Rape
Statutory rape involves sexual conduct where one of the participants is below the age required to give consent for the behavior. The criminal defense attorneys at Tully Rinckey PLLC are experienced in handling statutory rape charges.
Statutory rape differs from forcible sex crimes because no overt threat or force needs to be present. Because the victim of the crime is not able to legally give consent, coercion is assumed.

Prison time
Mandatory registration as a sex offender
Loss of certain rights

This type of sex crime can cause irreparable damage to a person’s reputation. Law enforcement agencies constantly run undercover operations meant to target otherwise innocent individuals. In addition, these charges can be complicated by the fact that seemingly legal establishments are often accused of harboring these types of crimes.
A conviction for solicitation can result in severe consequences, which may include:
Prison time
Loss of certain rights
Mandatory rehabilitation
Large fines
Child Abuse
The criminal defense attorneys at Tully Rinckey PLLC are experienced in handling child abuse charges.
Child sexual abuse encompasses a broad range of sexual crimes against minors, which includes molestation, indecent exposure, child pornography (or the displaying of pornography to a child), among other crimes.
Victims of child abuse are acquainted with their abuser in the vast majority of these crimes. Child sexual abuse offenders are treated with severe consequences due to the helplessness of their victims. Regardless of whether the accused is convicted, the consequences for accusations of child abuse can stay with a person throughout their life.
A conviction for child abuse can result in severe consequences, which may include:
Prison time
Mandatory registration as a sex offender
Loss of certain rights
Mandatory rehabilitation
Large fines
Internet Sex Crimes
The internet represents a new frontier for the legal community. Laws concerning the type of behavior on the Internet are constantly evolving. The criminal defense attorneys at Tully Rinckey PLLC are experienced in handling internet sex crime charges.
In addition, law enforcement agencies constantly run sting operations on the Internet to bait unknowing offenders. Often offenders do not even know that they are committing a crime. Some internet sex crimes include child pornography, solicitation of a minor, web cam offenses, endangering the welfare of a child, and stalking. These crimes bear as much weight as their “off-line” counterparts, and are punished just as severely.
A conviction for internet sex crimes can result in severe consequences, which may include:

I was most fortunate to be able to hire Derrick Hogan on two separate occasions to fight tickets for us. I cannot even begin to tell you what kind of a professional we were dealing with. His character matched his ability as an attorney. Having to hire an attorney for an out of town situation was a very difficult decision to make. I feel so blessed with dealing with this esquire. Mr. Hogan handled us like a symphony. He was extremely kind, brilliant, confident, sincere, and worked very hard on our behalf. He takes great pride in his work and it certainly shows. I have never in my entire life worked with anyone this professional or more highly qualified. If you decide to hire Derrick Hogan, you will have made the decision to hire the best attorney possible. Sometimes driving a Lexus is a smoother ride than driving a Dodge. You would be getting a Lexus with this lawyer. I give him five stars; he is a superstar himself. What a pleasure for me to recommend Derrick Hogan. Derrick is the absolute BEST of the BEST.

Tully Rinckey PLLC's professionalism put me right at ease. They had all charges against me dropped! I truly felt they earned my whole retainer and they even sent me back what was not used. I did not feel overcharged by Tully Rinckey PLLC at all. Their hard work kept me from getting a criminal record that would have affected me for the rest of my life. For this I am grateful. I have never been in trouble in my entire life. Getting arrested, being put in jail and losing my job, changed me to the core. Because of all the hard work done by them, I have a new life to live. For that, I cannot ever thank them enough!

Derrick Hogan at Tully Rinckey handled my case and I feel fortunate that he was my lawyer. I called to talk with someone about my case and by chance was connected with Mr. Hogan. He listened, asked good questions, and gave me all the information I could have asked for. He explained every step, what would or could happen in very clear and easy to understand terms. I was sent a retainer and explained the case would be covered by a flat fee, and that anything that came up in the future relating to the case would be fully covered by that fee. Although my case was probably one of the simpler, easier cases they handle, Mr. Hogan always made me feel that my case was important to him. He always urged me to call him if I had questions or wanted him to go over anything again. He even called me to follow up before I had to call him – something I find is rare with almost any professionals these days. He treated me with utmost courtesy and respect, was knowledgeable, and reassuring.
C.P.
