Our law firm has handled a lot of sex crime cases. My partner has been handling them for over 35 years, first as a prosecutor, then as a defense lawyer. We’ve had a lot of success getting good outcomes for our clients, including not guilty verdicts.
The toughest part of sex crime cases is showing the human side of our clients. Frequently when someone is charged with a sex crime, all anyone can think, the juries, the judges, the prosecutors, is that this is a bad person. And we really have a lot of success pushing back on that.
People need to remember that. In America, you are presumed innocent unless and until the government can prove that you are guilty. And that’s something that a lot of people lose sight of in sex crime cases.
And we need to remember that. And we at Burrill Law Firm do our best to protect that.

Minnesota criminal defense attorney Ian Birrell talks about his experience in handling criminal sexual conduct cases as well as the biggest challenge he faces in them. His firm handles many sex crime cases. His partner has been working on them for more than 35 years, starting as a prosecutor before moving into defense work. Together, they achieve strong results for their clients, including not guilty verdicts.
He explains that the greatest challenge in sex crime cases is presenting the human side of their clients. Too often, when someone is charged with a sex crime, judges, juries, and prosecutors alike assume the individual is simply a bad person. His team builds a reputation for successfully challenging that perception.
He emphasizes that people must not forget a fundamental principle: in America, every individual is presumed innocent until proven guilty by the government. Unfortunately, that presumption is often overlooked in sex crime cases. His commitment, and that of Burrill Law Firm, is to ensure that this core protection is upheld and that every client receives the strongest defense possible.
