Pateros attorney Arian Noma seeks County Prosecutor office

Posted

PATEROS – Pateros lawyer and former Carroll County, MD Assistant State’s Attorney, Arian Noma, has thrown his hat into the ring in the race for Okanogan County Prosecuting Attorney this fall.
Noma, who joined the firm of Thomason Law and Justice in Pateros last year, will challenge incumbent Branden Platter. The Okanogan County Commissioners appointed Platter last fall to fill the vacancy left by Karl Sloan, who resigned the county prosecutor’s post to take a position with the state Attorney General’s office.
Noma, a University of Washington graduate, taught school for three years at Malcom X Elementary School in southeast Washington, D.C., before obtaining his Juris Doctor from the University of the District of Columbia David A. Clarke School of Law, according to his profile on www.thomasonjustice.com.
Noma clerked for the Honorable Judge Sheryl M. Long and practiced family law for a year prior to joining the Baltimore City States Attorney’s Office. He joined the Carroll County State Attorney’s Office in 2007 and during his tenure as an Assistant State’s Attorney he prosecuted misdemeanors and felonies ranging from trespass to armed robbery.
Noma left public service to form the NOMA Firm to focus on immigration, criminal and litigation issues. With rural Mississippi roots, Noma said he believes that the nation’s rural communities are vital to the health and welfare of American. That’s what drew him to Okanogan County where he joined the Thomason firm in 2017 and specializes in civil and contract litigation, immigration, personal injury, criminal, family and landlord/tenant issues.
Noma’s campaign website, www.votenoma.com highlights the candidate’s views concerning the office of county prosecutor. He said he sees little difference between Okanogan County and Baltimore other than that the former is a farming community and the latter, a city.
“They both lost their main economies years ago,” said Noma,
