Protecting Their Futures
Young people make mistakes. It is how they learn.
When the mistake involves a criminal offense, however, the issue becomes more serious. Depending on how a juvenile crime is handled, it can be the learning experience that encourages future good choices or the first step in a lifetime of limited possibilities.
The Right Place for Juvenile Criminal Defense
At Reminger Criminal Defense, our attorneys are dedicated to protecting our juvenile crime clients today and in the future. We work to achieve a positive outcome to the charges they may be facing today while helping them avoid a criminal record in the future.
Our juvenile crime clients face nearly all of the same charges that our adult clients face, including:
- Alcohol-related offenses, including DUI/OVI and underage drinking
- Drug crimes
- Computer crimes
- Assault
Our first priority in every juvenile case is to keep it within the juvenile court system. Prosecutors often try to get a juvenile certified to stand trial as an adult if the case involves more serious charges.
The focus of the juvenile justice system is rehabilitation of young people. In adult court, the emphasis is on punishment. In addition, keeping a case in juvenile court protects the young person's record. Juvenile cases do not become public. Arrest or conviction in adult court will stay on your criminal record making it more difficult to get a job or a place to live.
