Strategy, experience, result-driven defense in juvenile law
From the initial consultation, I will take the time to understand the unique circumstances of your case, taking into consideration your version of the facts, as well as the case against you. Using witness accounts, police statements, and physical evidence, I will work aggressively to build your defense. I will always focus on your rights, your objectives, and develop a cohesive strategy to defeat the charges your child faces or minimize penalties in his case. I am experienced in the defense of juveniles in cases involving:
- Speeding and traffic violations
- Assault and battery
- Sexual offenses
- Truancy
- Curfew violation
- Theft and burglary
- Trespassing and property damage
Advocacy focused on the long-term interests of juvenile defendants
Even though juvenile records are sealed, if your child gets into trouble as an adult, the court may open a prior juvenile court record at the time of sentencing. My goal is to explore every avenue of defense to achieve optimal results in your case. For first-time offenders who are convicted, I can often seek rehabilitative measures rather than punitive action.
