The Juvenile Court can impact your family in many ways.
Delinquency
Children (ages 17 and under) charged with crimes appear in Juvenile Court. The consequences for what may seem to be childish behavior can be severe. Children may be incarcerated until 21 years of age, removed from their homes, lose their right to drive, be fined, and more. Children charged with sexual offenses can be labeled just as adults and be restricted from where they can live and work. Their ability to obtain employment and even attend college can be impacted. Your child should not face these consequences without an experienced lawyer.
Juvenile Traffic
Unlike adults, the teenage driver faces many restrictions and unique punishments. For driving violations, mandatory drivers' rights suspensions can occur. This will affect your child's ability to get to work, school, or any other activities. An experienced lawyer can protect your child's rights and your insurance rates.
