Alternatives to Being Locked Up for Juvenile Crimes and Convictions

If your child or a juvenile you care about is facing criminal charges, this is an important time to speak with an experienced juvenile criminal defense attorney. Juvenile crimes have serious consequences, including transfer to adult court, and juvenile detention.

teen arrested and charged with a crimeOften, the difference between jail time and being allowed to stay at home and in school is based on early intervention with the police, the prosecutors and the school system. For example, in some cases a criminal defense attorney experienced with juvenile crime can work out an agreement with the victim before formal charges are filed. In other cases, proactively working with the prosecutor can result in charges being set aside based on certain actions and activities by the juvenile, the family and school system.

If charges are brought and the juvenile is convicted, there are still alternatives, including probation, alternative school environments and community-based programs, residential treatment centers and psychiatric facilities.
