Key Benefits of Hiring a Sex Crime Attorney in New York!
Mr. Petrus worked exclusively in adult sex crimes for over three and a half year while working as a probation officer: He now brings this experience to your defense.
He has dealt with experts, drafted lie detector questions, interpreted responses, analyzed results from Static 99 reports (a device that estimates probability of recidivism), reviewed Abel assessment reports (a sexual predilection assessment tool) and other diagnostic-psychiatric reports based on DSM-IV criteria. He has received countless hours of specialized training in sex crimes. He has searched computers for child pornography and assisted in the charging of defendants with crimes thereof.
Since sex crimes often carry particularly long sentences (including life in prison in some instances) and given the over zealousness of many district attorneys to force long and harsh prison sentences on such defendants, if you have been accused of a sex crime, you will need a knowledgeable and dedicated defense lawyer. Moreover, the Federal Bureau of Investigations, the Manhattan District Attorney Office, the Bronx District Attorney Office, the Kings District Attorney Office, the Queens District Attorney Office, the Richmond (Staten Island) District Attorney Office, and the Westchester District Attorney Office all have specialized prosecutorial units dedicated solely to the prosecution of accused sex offenders.
Hire an attorney who is similarly dedicated to your case, to your defense. Allow Mr. Petrus to bring his particular knowledge in the area of sex crimes to you. Your life may depend on it.
