Maryland Sex Crime Defense Lawyers
Criminal Defense Legal Services for Almost 40 Years
The consequences of a sex crime conviction can be enormous. In addition to the possible publicity that many accused individuals fear, a conviction can bring:
- Years or decades of jail and prison time
- A lifetime requirement to register as a sex offender
At the Law Offices of Richard P. Arnold in Greenbelt, Maryland, we understand your concerns if you face you sex crime charges, and we can provide the dedicated, hands-on and compassionate representation you need and deserve.
Experience and Qualifications Can Make the Difference in Your Criminal Case
Few attorneys in Maryland have more experience with sex crime cases than Richard Arnold. Mr. Arnold has over his career as a prosecutor and defense attorney and two years as Chief Special Counsel with the Maryland Office of the Attorney General, handled thousands of criminal cases, including well over 100 sex offenses. His casework experience includes:
- Over 14 years as a criminal prosecutor, including service as a chief special counsel for the attorney general of the State of Maryland
- Over 20 years of experience as a criminal defense attorney
Mr. Arnold's experience as a prosecutor means he can often predict prosecutors' tactics. This allows him to both formulate a defense and prepare a counter-response to prosecutors' strategies before your hearing or trial even begins.
Our Hard Work Means We're Always Prepared
Twenty years ago Mr. Arnold attended a seminar that taught that defendants' interests are best served not always by the "best" attorney but by the one who will work the hardest on your case. At our firm, we believe our attorneys are both. We place a special emphasis on doing the background work, research and follow-up that is essential to an effective defense. When you hire lawyers Richard Arnold and Paula Mattson-Sarli, you will receive legal help from a team committed to doing what it takes to protect your rights and pursue your best possible outcome.
