Our Firm Offers Your Child’s Best Defense

Juvenile crimes are governed by a different set of rules. They are not yet adults, so they do not have the same rights granted to them in a court of law.

Juvenile cases are different because:

• They are not required to have a trial by a jury of their peers
• They do not have the right to a fair and reasonable bail
• They do not have a right to a speedy trial
• Juvenile sentencing for criminal offenses differs from adults

If your child has been charged with a crime, you need a dedicated legal advocate that understands the criminal system and how to provide reliable defense. Your child’s future should never be ruined by a simple mistake. Our law firm is here to make sure that it doesn’t happen.
