The Juvenile Court System

If accused of a juvenile crime many questions arise by both the parents and the minor. 

• What are the consequences of the crime?
• Will my child be put in juvenile detention?
• Will he/she have a juvenile record?
• Will it affect their ability to get a job, go to college, travel?

It is a very difficult time for all.  What you should know is that with the juvenile court system, the prosecution and judges are geared toward the rehabilitation and treatment of the young person, keeping them at home, keeping the offense off their record and helping them get their life back on track.  That is very good news for everyone concerned, and fighting to keep the case in the juvenile court system is vital.  Our firm is dedicated and committed toward pursuing this outcome for your child.  With our years of experience behind us, a solid legal defense can be developed and we understand that preparation and early defense actions are often the key to a successful legal defense.
