Frequently Asked Questions
Will my child have a criminal record?
Juvenile records are generally sealed from public view, but not automatically expunged. We can petition to have records completely expunged to protect your child's future.
Can my teenager be tried as an adult?
For serious offenses, prosecutors can seek waiver to adult court. We fight vigorously to keep cases in juvenile court where rehabilitation is the focus.
Should I let my child talk to police?
No. Children have the same Fifth Amendment rights as adults. Police are trained to obtain confessions. Always have an attorney present before any questioning.
