Juvenile Arrests and Defense

Protecting Your Child’s Future Starts Here

A juvenile arrest is a serious matter, not just for the child involved, but for the entire family. If your child has been arrested or is facing criminal charges, you need a skilled and compassionate juvenile defense attorney who understands how to navigate the complexities of the juvenile justice system.

At our firm, we’re committed to protecting the rights, freedom, and future of minors who find themselves in legal trouble. We fight hard to ensure that one mistake doesn’t define your child’s life.

Why Juvenile Defense Is Different

Juvenile cases are not handled like adult criminal cases. The goal of the juvenile justice system is rehabilitation—not punishment. However, that doesn’t mean your child is safe from severe consequences.

Without proper representation, a juvenile could face:

  • Detention in a juvenile facility
  • Probation or community service
  • Suspension or expulsion from school
  • A permanent juvenile record
  • Transfer to adult court in serious cases

Common Juvenile Charges We Defend

Our experienced attorneys handle a wide range of juvenile cases, including:

  • Underage drinking or DUI
  • Drug possession or distribution
  • Vandalism or property damage
  • Shoplifting or theft
  • Assault or fighting
  • Sexual misconduct
  • Cybercrimes and online behavior
  • Weapons offenses
  • School-related offenses

No matter the charge, our approach remains the same: protect your child’s legal rights while working toward the best possible outcome.

What to Do If Your Child Has Been Arrested

If your child is taken into custody, time is critical. Here’s what to do:

  1. Stay calm – Your child needs you to make clear-headed decisions.
  2. Don’t speak to the police without a lawyer present – Children may not fully understand their rights.
  3. Call an experienced juvenile defense attorney immediately – The sooner we get involved, the more we can do to help.
