Is It Important for Lawyers to Defend People Accused of Sex Offenses? 

It’s extremely important in Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and DC, and throughout our country, that individuals who have been charged with crimes, including sex offenses, have legal counsel to help guide them through the potholes of our justice system. As criminal defense attorneys, we wholeheartedly believe that the foundation of our legal system rests on the willingness of defense lawyers to stand up, protect, and represent people who’ve been accused of serious crimes.

A person who has been arrested and is about to be charged with a sex offense finds themselves at one of the lowest points in their life. Very often, family members, spouses, friends, and employers will shun a person simply because that person has been accused, because of the stigma attached to sex offenses.

In fact, many people act as though they have been convicted before they have even seen the inside of a courtroom. We understand this feeling and help people facing these situations every day. We’ve always believed that there’s nothing more important for a criminal defense lawyer than to help someone in their lowest point in their life vigorously defend and guide them through troubled waters.

That’s the essence of being a defense lawyer – showing compassion and zeal and understanding that just because someone has been accused of a crime doesn’t mean they’re guilty.
