In theory, the purpose of the juvenile justice system is to rehabilitate juveniles who have gone astray. Despite the stated intent of the juvenile justice system, the system has become more and more similar to the adult criminal justice system over the years, with increasing penalties and more significant long-term consequences for children and teens charged with a violation of the law.
If your child or a loved one has been accused of a juvenile crime, it is very important to contact an attorney. We strongly recommend to parents and concerned adults that they seek representation for any juvenile charged with a violation of the law.
Although juvenile charges are supposed to be confidential, colleges and universities are free to ask applicants about juvenile crimes they may have committed. An experienced juvenile defense attorney may be able to mitigate the damage of juvenile charges by seeking a dismissal of the charges, seeking a plea agreement that results in no admission, or seeking a plea agreement that includes an admission to a lesser charge with dismissal of the more serious charges.
