Juvenile Charges in Virginia?
Protect Your Future with a Strong Defense!
Charges against juveniles need to be handled just right to protect a
young persons future. A case before the Virginia Juvenile and
Domestic Relations Court is different than a criminal case, and
should be approached differently. I've represented clients in these
courts many times, so I'm fully prepared to represent and defend your
child's interests.
Don't let a youthful mistake affect the rest of your life! Call me
for a free legal consultation, and I'll advise you on how to best
fight your case, or negotiate a deal that will minimize any future
impact that a juvenile record may have.
What is a Juvenile Offense?
A juvenile offender is someone under the age of 18 who commits and
specific act prohibited by Virginia law.
Examples of some charges that are specific to juveniles include:
- Truancy
- Delinquency
- Curfew violations
- Possession of Alcohol (or tobacco)
Juvenile cases may also be crimes not specifically restricted to
juveniles, such as possession of drugs, theft, assault,
driving without a license or other motor vehicle charges.
Delinquency Arrest Tips
If you are accused of delinquency, remain calm when confronted by the
police. Remember the following advice:
- If you haven't been arrested or taken into custody, you do not
have to submit to a search.
- Do not resist arrest! Be polite and cooperative.
- Respectfully decline to answer any questions. Do not volunteer
any information about the incident.
- Insist that an attorney is present before answering any
questions.
- Do not discuss your case with anyone other than your attorney.
Juvenile Defense Legal Strategies
In every juvenile defense case, I fight aggressively and concede
nothing to the prosecution. They must fully prove every element of their
case against you beyond a reasonable doubt.
However, when a conviction can't be avoided, I've found that a
strong sentencing argument can make all the difference to minimize
the penalties and potential long term impact of a conviction. There are
many forms of alternative sentences that may be properly considered by a
judge. I will tailor fit the argument to the highest benefit of the
client, your child.
When you hire me, you will receive the undivided attention and
respect you deserve. To find out if I'm the attorney for you, call me
