Failure to Register as a Sex Offender
"The Right Man to Keep You Out of the Wrong Place"
At the Law Offices of Richard P. Arnold in Greenbelt, Maryland, we believe that convicted sex offenders should be able to live with dignity, free of harassment. Unfortunately, many convicted offenders struggle to enjoy the right to a peaceful life.
In one case we learned about, each time a convicted sex offender moved, a detective informed his apartment building managers of his offender status, making it impossible to rent in his chosen city and county. The result? The offender had to move to another count, far from familiar surroundings and friends.
We think this type of harassment and treatment is unfair, and we work to provide comprehensive legal help to convicted six offenders throughout Maryland. Our goal? To help keep convicted offenders from ending up back in jail.
Consequences for Failing to Register with the Sex Offender Registry Can be Severe
Often, charges of failing to register as a sex offender coincide with charges of violating probation. For the same reason, significant consequences can include a return to jail, sometimes for 10 or 20 years to finish a sentence.
With Experienced Legal Help, You May Be Able to Avoid Serious Legal Penalties
We can provide experienced legal help for a broad range of issues faced by sex offenders, including charges of failing to register. For instance:
- In a recent case, our client lost his job, was kicked out of his home and forced to live in his car, resulting in charges of not having a residence. Through our representation the judge sentenced him to no legal consequences (though the judge was forced to find him guilty on technical grounds).
- In another case, our client was charged with failing to notify his county of a recent move, though he did notify his nearest police station of his move. Through our representation our client was found not guilty because we proved that his probation agent failed to fully explain his obligations.
