- Theft
- Sexual assault
- Underage drinking
- Graffiti

Juvenile Crime Doesn't Mean Your Child Can't Succeed
In every juvenile crime case we handle, our goal is to answer one question: how can we resolve the charges without effectively ruining the child's future prospects? Sometimes, the answer is to cooperate with prosecutors. Other times, the answer is to fight the charges with everything we have. For each client, the answer is different.
We understand that this is likely your first time ever dealing with the criminal justice system. We will do our best to ease your fears and lead you through the process.
