Violent Crimes

Thorough Maryland Criminal Defense

Violent crimes are among the most serious criminal offenses, and often carry mandatory minimum penalties. When facing these serious criminal charges, it is important for you to retain an experienced attorney.

Now entering his twenty-second year of law practice, lawyer James Papirmeister, of the Law Offices of James N. Papirmeister, Esq., understands the importance that experience can play in a criminal trial. In fact, during his 9 years with the Office of the State's Attorney for Prince George's County, he witnessed firsthand how inexperienced counsel can adversely affect a criminal defendant. To speak to our firm about your violent crime case, contact our offices located in both Suitland and Silver Spring, Maryland, to schedule a free initial consultation.

Do not make the mistake of talking to the police while under investigation or following an arrest for a violent crime, as the State will use anything you say against you at a subsequent trial. Please request to speak with an attorney, and after you make this request, law enforcement authorities may not speak with you unless your legal counsel is present.
