"Cheryl Carpenter is, without a doubt, the go-to person for all Michigan citizens charged with criminal sexual conduct and dealing with issues related to the Sex Offender Registry. Studies have revealed that when indictments are read to juries at the beginning of criminal trials, those alleging sex crimes are most likely to destroy the defendant's presumption of innocence. Combined with that, prison sentences are harsh for those convicted of CSC offenses. That means you need an expert and it is no time to fool around. I endorse Cheryl not only because she is that expert, but because she is a good human being who incorporates human understanding and compassion into her cases. Cheryl is a faculty member of the Trial Lawyers College in Wyoming, and you can watch her teach other Michigan lawyers on video at capwayne.org. If you have been charged with CSC, might be charged, or know someone in such a position, call Cheryl. You would be doing yourself a disservice not to."

"I endorse Cheryl Carpenter and highly recommend her to anyone facing a legal charge. I have been able to consult with Cheryl on a number of cases and truly value her experience; she has been and is a true fighter for young people who are accused of crimes that would require lifetime registry, affecting their ability to ever lead a normal life. Cheryl has an amazing natural gift in a Court room ... She is able to connect with a jury, stand up for the truth and fight or justice. Cheryl is a true warrior; she can and will fight for her Clients, especially when the system tries to bury the truth."
