Twin Cities Juvenile Court Cases

Many juvenile crime cases may be brought into the adult criminal court system where penalties are far more severe. Therefore, it is imperative to hire an attorney that understands the juvenile court process and how to effectively defend minors in both the adult and juvenile courts. As an experienced juvenile law attorney, I am able to offer support, advocacy, and defense services to juveniles facing charges such as:

• Drug possession and other drug charges
• Shoplifting or theft
• Burglary
• Vandalism
• Assault
• Traffic tickets
• Disorderly conduct
• Underage drinking/minor consumption of alcohol
• Juvenile probation violation
• Other juvenile delinquency

Juvenile Crime Defense

Contrary to common belief, a conviction will be placed on the individual's permanent record in juvenile cases. Even if a record is sealed from the public, it follows the individual and is still available to judges. Therefore, it can be more difficult to convince a judge to dismiss charges, should they occur again. Therefore, it is necessary to have an attorney that is focused obtaining a dismissal of the charges rather than a lawyer that is quick to accept the penalties. As a knowledgeable and experienced juvenile lawyer, I recognize how to set reasonable expectations, but also am dedicated to fighting zealously for my clients.
