Joliet Internet Sex Crimes Defense Lawyer | Child Pornography Charges

Joliet Internet Sex Crimes Defense Lawyer

Internet sex crimes are increasingly a focus of prosecution in Illinois. The Internet Crimes Unit of the Illinois State Police is devoted to investigating online sex offenses and other Internet crimes. The agency has immense resources and powerful tools at its disposal.

As with other sex crimes, a conviction for Internet-related sex crimes can turn your life upside down. Since most of these charges are felonies, you could be facing years or decades in prison. You may also have to register as a sex offender for the rest of your life.

Fortunately, you have the right to challenge such charges. You do not need to tackle them on your own. Instead, turn to me, Douglas G. DeBoer, an Internet sex crimes defense attorney in Joliet. My practice is devoted 100 percent to criminal defense. I am passionate about standing up for clients who are facing the immense power of the government in all types of criminal charges. Above all, I am dedicated to fighting for clients’ rights and freedoms.

Personalized Legal Guidance From A Former Prosecutor

As a former prosecutor, I have extensive experience — more than 30 years — handling all types of sex crimes charges. My proven experience in the courtroom works to my clients’ advantage.

Exceptional Attorney

I had my license restricted because of speeding. Mr. Doug appeared very calm and experienced. He appeared to have good relations with prosecutors. The whole charge was waived and I was able to get my license back as if nothing has happened. I recommend him with highest level of confidence

Douglas DeBoer is an Exceptional Criminal Lawyer

Doug is a top-notch lawyer. He truly cares about his clients and will do everything he can to help those he feels truly made a mistake and are good people. He goes above and beyond the call of duty and explores every option possible. He communicates effectively and will do what it takes to help.

He realizes we’re all human and sometimes we make mistakes and he does not judge you for the mistake made but rather the true person you are. I had a very complicated case and I thought I would never see the light at the end of the tunnel. I first reached out to a lawyer in Chicago but due to my case being in Will county, I had to find a Will county attorney and he recommended no one other than Douglas DeBoer. What I remember so vividly about our first conversation when Doug and I met was when he said I don’t like seeing good people get in trouble for a mistake made which can cost him everything.

Doug is a very hard-working, well-respected lawyer, and very prompt in returning phone calls and moving the case forward in our legal system. I wish he practiced in other areas of law. Doug gave me the peace of mine I needed and addressed every question and doubts that came up as we proceeded through the case. My journey has been an emotional roller coaster and knowing I have Doug on my side has made me get through this ordeal in a very peaceful manner.

Bottom line - Douglas DeBoer is an exceptional criminal lawyer and he truly gave me back my life which would’ve cost me and my family everything for an irrational decision I made. Thank you Doug for everything. You’re the best!

I Highly Recommend Him

When the time came to look for representation by an attorney I called the office of Douglas G. DeBoer. With his 20 plus years of experience in law he knew the direction to go in with my situation at our first meeting. He clearly explained the legal process he’d work with and then followed through from the first court date, pre-trial to the final court appearance. I highly recommend him when you need to be defended with positive results.

Doug is the Way to Go

I ran into legal trouble and needed help fast and wanted someone I could trust and rely on. I shopped around for a while until I was referred to Doug. The immediate difference between Doug and the other attorneys I spoke to was that Doug told me how it was and how it was going to be. He didn't feed me false promises and made sure to avoid the "if it's too good to be true" pit. Doug always answered my phone calls and emails almost immediately. He made sure every decision I made was informed and helped me weigh the risks and rewards. If you want an attorney that can tell you the facts and not get your hopes up but just comfort you and help put your mind at ease Doug is the way to go.

Doug's Prompt, Sound Legal Advice Helped Me

I recently consulted Doug about the potential risk for liability resulting from an accident where a parked vehicle was damaged under circumstances that could have been misconstrued and exploited. Doug's prompt, sound legal advice helped me to resolve the matter to the satisfaction of both parties before the situation could escalate further.

I Would Recommend Him Without Hesitation

What most impressed me about Mr. DeBoer was his sincere desire to help my family out. Some of the previous lawyers I'd called acted like I could take them or leave them, but not so with Doug. He worked as hard for our case as he would have for one with a big payoff. I would recommend him without hesitation.

Teens Have a lot at Stake When Charged with a Crime in Illinois

Published by:Doug G. DeBoer

Neuroscientists estimate that a person’s prefrontal cortex, the area of the brain responsible for judgment, does not fully develop until after age 20. Combined with [...]
