If minors who are 17 or younger are convicted of a juvenile felony offense, this conviction will follow them for the rest of their lives. A misdemeanor conviction could be sealed in a matter of several years, but it can still affect job and college opportunities, and stay on a DMV record until they reach 29 years old. We take these charges seriously, and we are ready to come alongside you to defend your son or daughter’s future. Call JRLaw, PLC today to get answers and to learn how we can help you swiftly take care of these juvenile charges.
Defending Juvenile Charges in Virginia Beach
In most cases, a juvenile proceeding will be sealed off from the public, protecting your privacy. But your son or daughter’s school will be notified of any pending charges and any conviction. Universities will see this criminal case when your child applies for admission. Depending on the charge, your child could have their license suspended. Penalties could even include a sentence in a juvenile detention facility. In some cases, a minor who is at least 14 years old could be charged with an adult felony and face adult criminal charges.
No matter how serious the accusation is, we provide respected juvenile defense for charges including and not limited to:
- Assault and battery
- Burglary
- Destruction of property
- Drug charges
- DUI / DWI
- Grand larceny
- Marijuana possession
- Minor in possession of alcohol
