If your child has been charged with a juvenile crime or delinquent act, it is in your best interests to speak with a criminal defense attorney at your earliest convenience. Although juveniles are less likely to be heavily penalized, he or she may have to deal with legal consequences that could affect the rest of his or her life. Whether your child has been charged with a drug crime, theft crime, DUI, or any other type of crime, it is important that his or her future is protected and the assistance of a seasoned juvenile crimes attorney is obtained on an immediate basis.

 

In some cases, the juvenile can be charged as an adult. If this happens, he or she will be subjected to harsh penalties such as jail time, fines and a permanent criminal record. Many do not realize that their son or daughter will be tried as an adult until it is too late.  If your loved one is currently facing charges for a juvenile crime, please call Wolfe Law today for a thorough case review.

 

When a juvenile who has a previous record is arrested for an additional crime, the court will take this into consideration when deciding on the severity of his or her penalties. In most cases, juveniles are given more understanding than in adult cases and it is assumed by the court system that many of them can be rehabilitated and that harsh punishment is not necessary. It is still important to protect your child's future by hiring a fierce criminal defense attorney who can ensure that his or her rights are not violated.
