The Laubshire Law Firm, LLC can defend juveniles in and out of the courtroom. We understand that the accusation of any crime against a minor can be emotionally challenging and legally complex. For these reasons, our criminal defense lawyers take the time to understand each client’s unique situation and create a personalized case strategy to obtain a favorable outcome.
Juvenile crimes are offenses committed by a person less than 17 years of age. Juveniles can commit regular crimes, but may face different consequences than adults. Juvenile crimes are unique because they involve acts prohibited by law due to age.
Examples include:
- Purchase, possession, or consumption of alcohol
- Truancy
- Running away from home
Children accused of a crime may be placed in juvenile detention while they await a hearing. During this time, the Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) may decide to send your child to a community program, attempt to prosecute your child in court, or dismiss the case.
Everyone makes mistakes, especially children. Mr. Laubshire understands how scary this uncertain time may be for you and your child and will utilize his former prosecutorial and law enforcement experience to fight for your child’s best interests. A criminal accusation or conviction could hurt your child’s future by making it harder for them to get a job and go to college, among others, and The Laubshire Law Firm, LLC is committed to exploring ways to help prevent your child from suffering life-changing consequences.
