Juvenile Crime Lawyer

​

Juvenile crime cases are handled differently than adult crime cases. The purpose of the adult court system and the punishments it hands out is to deter crime from taking place again by punishing the perpetrators harshly. The purpose of the juvenile court system, on the other hand, is to locate and address the behavior leading to the criminal conduct in order to fix it before the child becomes an adult. This is because a child’s mind is still developing at a rapid pace, even in adolescence, and as a result they are not as able as adults to comprehend their actions and the consequences they might face because of them.

 

Juvenile law is not an area that all lawyers are comfortable with simply because it is so different from adult law. When your child is in need of legal help, the best thing you can do is reach out to an experienced juvenile law attorney. The Law Firm of Dan Florey has that experience in spades. He offers his clients over 20 years worth of experience and has both the expertise and knowledge necessary to provide his clients with the best possible defense. He will zealously defend your child in the juvenile justice system to help ensure their future remains unmarred.

 

Juvenile Law Attorney

​

It should be noted that although the main purpose of the juvenile justice system is to reform rather than harshly punish, your child could still face serious consequences for their actions. This is one of the reasons why it is so important to reach out to an experienced lawyer as quickly as possible to help mitigate damages and preserve your child’s ability to pursue a normal life in adulthood.

 

The right attorney can help fight to keep your child firmly in the juvenile justice system as opposed to being tried as an adult – and, depending upon the crime in question, it is not out of the realm of possibility that prosecutors could push to have your child tried in the adult legal system. Additionally, there are often options available to help further mitigate the punishment your child receives as a result of their alleged crimes. Thee might include things like community service, diversion programs, and probation instead of serving time in a detention center. They will also keep your child’s overall future in mind and make decisions that help keep their record clean and enable them to pursue all possible employment and educational opportunities in the future.

 

Consequences of Conviction

​

You might wonder if it is truly necessary to hire a juvenile defense attorney, and the answer is that yes, it is. Do not let the fact that your child’s entire future is riding upon successfully mitigating charges fall from your mind. If your child is tried as an adult and convicted, they will face the same punishments as adults would for the same crime. They will also face the same restrictions that those punishments place upon convicted adults. This can include automatic disqualification from working in certain fields like education or medicine as well as an inability to obtain government assistance for college.
