Michigan Criminal Sexual Conduct Defense Attorney

Protecting Your Future. Preserving Your Freedom.

Being accused of a sex crime is one of the most terrifying experiences a person can face. In an instant, your entire world can collapse — your freedom, your career, your relationships, your reputation. If you’ve been charged with Criminal Sexual Conduct (CSC) in Michigan or are under investigation, you’re likely feeling fear, shame, confusion, and uncertainty about what comes next.

I am Attorney Raquel Guzman, and I understand what you’re going through — because I’ve stood beside countless individuals in your position. And I’ve fought relentlessly to protect their rights, defend their innocence, and secure their future.

Criminal Sexual Conduct Charges Demand Elite Defense

Michigan’s sex crime laws are among the most severe in the country. A conviction for criminal sexual conduct could mean:

  • Years — or life — in prison
  • Mandatory registration on the Michigan Sex Offender Registry
  • Destruction of your personal and professional life
  • Restrictions of where you can live
  • A lifetime stigma, even if you are innocent

Unlike many criminal cases, CSC charges carry a unique emotional, legal, and social weight. The system can be swift and unforgiving — even when allegations are exaggerated or entirely false. In this climate, the mere accusation can feel like a conviction.


Not All Lawyers Are Equal — Experience in Criminal Sexual Conduct Cases Matters

When it comes to CSC cases, there is no substitute for experience. I don’t dabble in this area of law — I live in it. I’ve spent years in Michigan courtrooms defending thousands of clients, including clients facing all degrees of criminal sexual conduct, from Criminal Sexual Conduct 1st degree, Criminal Sexual Conduct 2nd degree, Criminal Sexual Conduct 3rd degree to Criminal Sexual Conduct 4th degree, including:

  • Cases involving minors
  • Allegations in the context of family disputes
  • Campus investigations and Title IX hearings
  • False allegations driven by custody battles
  • False allegations driven by broken relationships and bittered exes

I understand the intricate statutes, the prosecutorial tactics, and the critical importance of expert, forensic, digital, and testimonial evidence. This is not a time to hire a general criminal lawyer. You need someone who knows every corner of Criminal Sexual Conduct law and has the courtroom track record to back it up.


False Allegations. Unfair Investigations. Life-Altering Consequences.

Many CSC charges stem from false allegations, misunderstandings, or weaponized accusations in the heat of conflict. Yet even in the absence of physical evidence or eyewitnesses, a conviction is still possible — especially if your defense is not investigated, tailored, strategic, and aggressive.

That’s why it’s critical to have a defense attorney who:

  • Believes in you
  • Believes in your right to a fair trial
  • Knows how to challenge credibility and uncover the truth
  • Will not shy away from trial when needed
  • Treats you with dignity, discretion, and unshakable advocacy
