Juvenile Law

If your child is facing criminal charges, you need a highly qualified defense attorney with significant juvenile law experience.

As a prosecutor, I was Chief of a District Court that solely handled juvenile matters. I also have shared my expertise with colleagues through seminars, instructing them on how to handle juvenile matters from beginning to end.

Juvenile law is a very specialized area of criminal practice. Family civil law governs children under 17 who are charged with crimes, and cases are handled somewhat differently than in adult criminal court.

Incidents that once would have been considered minor are now being treated as criminal offenses, particularly in schools, where Zero Tolerance is the rule.

I offer extremely qualified representation in all juvenile criminal matters, from simple drug possession to sexual assault, weapons offenses, robbery and murder. Whether your child faces deferred or pre-trial disposition or has been certified and will be tried and sentenced as an adult, I can help.

And through the complex and emotional process, I will offer your family peace of mind.
