Protecting Your Reputation Against Juvenile Crimes Charges
When a child or teen makes a mistake, it shouldn't define who they are and certainly shouldn't ruin the rest of their childhood. If you are facing juvenile crimes charges or have a child who is facing criminal charges, it is worth the time to discuss your situation with an experienced juvenile crimes attorney.
We strive to provide aggressive defenses against juvenile crimes charges for our clients throughout Florida's Treasure Coast. Our office is conveniently located behind the courthouse in Fort Pierce. Call our Fort Pierce office at 772-828-2408 or toll free 888-534-9239, or our West Palm Beach office at 561-963-9933 for a free initial consultation.
A Conviction Could Affect the Rest of Your Life
The days of "boys will be boys" are over. Depending on the charges, a child over 15 could be charged as an adult or have their case upgraded to a felony. We work closely with juveniles and their families to fight against charges, including:
- Car theft
- Shoplifting
- Burglary
- Robbery
- Drug crimes
- Battery
While most of these cases are tried in juvenile court, some prosecutors do seek to try teens as adults. If we are hired early enough in the process, we can work with prosecutors in an attempt to keep the case in juvenile court. Records are generally sealed when someone turns 18, limiting the damage of a juvenile conviction, but attempting to seal records will not help you if you are tried as an adult.
