Penalties and Consequences of a Juvenile Conviction
A juvenile conviction could affect the minor’s ability to attend college, get a job, or even remain in high school. We will take the time to collect and preserve all necessary evidence, consulting with witnesses and experts where necessary. We will review police documentation and challenge any evidence illegally seized. In every case, our attorneys are looking for the best possible result: a NOT guilty verdict or a deferred disposition that ultimately results in a dismissal. We don’t plea bargain or negotiate any deals without the full support of our client and his or her family.
We are experienced in the defense of juvenile crimes, including:
- Drug crimes
- Sex crimes
- Violent crimes/murder – including homicide, vehicular manslaughter, aggravated assault
- Property crimes – including theft, shoplifting, robbery
- Municipal and traffic offenses
Children’s Rights in Court
Children in juvenile court matters have many of the same rights as adults, including the right to remain silent, the right to cross-examine witnesses, and the right to an attorney. It is important to understand the full extent of your rights while under investigation and before entering court. Our attorneys will take the time to review your rights and options and aggressively assert your rights at every stage in the juvenile criminal process. Where available or when necessary, we will seek rehabilitation over incarceration for any minor.
