Does my child need to have an attorney?
Juvenile Criminal Defense Lawyer
Has your child been charged with a crime?
If so, you are probably concerned about their future. Chances are you'll be wondering if being charged with a criminal offense in juvenile court will appear on your son's or daughter's permanent record. Will a criminal record hinder his or her ability to get a job or get accepted to a good university?
Whenever a child is convicted of a criminal offense, not only does the whole family suffer, but the child’s future is seriously affected. This is why we are such strong believers in giving children a second chance. A lot of youngsters are not fully aware of the consequences of their actions and do not deserve hard sentences. There have been incidents where a child has a learning disability or impulse control problems like A.D.HD. or A.D.D., and really only need medication or a good psychologist. However, the juvenile justice system can become extremely aggressive with your youngster and attempt to take them away until they turn eighteen or sometimes considerably longer. It's not uncommon for sentencing to include counseling, detention in a youth facility like a boot camp, juvenile detention center, or youth authority facility. As a result of these possibilities, along with the unique laws involved with juvenile criminal acts, having a skilled criminal defense attorney there to fight back and attempt to get the charges reduced or dropped is absolutely vital.
We handle the following types of juvenile cases:
Traffic violations: Driving without a driver's license, speeding, reckless driving, driving without insurance, DUI/DWI, and possession of alcohol in a motor vehicle.
Theft and property crimes: larceny, shoplifting, burglary, robbery, criminal mischief, vandalism, graffiti, destruction of property, arson, and trespassing.
Drug charges: Drug possession, possession with intent to sell, possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, drug distribution, drug manufacturing and cultivation.
Assault : Fighting on school grounds, assault and battery, and assault with a deadly weapon.
