Being a parent is the toughest job in the world. If your child has recently made a bad choice which resulted in criminal charges, you may be feeling as if you’ve failed. You haven’t! The reality is that sometimes, our kids simply make mistakes, which is how they learn right from wrong. However, criminal charges don’t vanish just because your child realizes their wrongdoing; in some cases, it is necessary to hire quality legal representation that can negotiate on your child’s behalf to keep their record clean. At Phyllis Law, we are passionate about helping young people learn from their mistakes and get a second chance.

It is important to know that juvenile cases differ from other criminal cases. For one, juvenile courts are kept private and are not allowed to be announced or reported on publicly. We work tirelessly to protect your child’s right to anonymity throughout their entire case. Second, juvenile cases do not refer to a jury; only the judge will determine innocence or guilt. We have a great degree of experience and familiarity with how juvenile court judges operate, which can be very beneficial to your child’s case. Finally, it is possible for juveniles to be tried as adults in some cases, which would bring the possibility of much stiffer penalties. It is imperative that you secure aggressive representation for your child to ensure they are able to move forward successfully and have a bright future. Call today for a free consultation and to learn more about what the defense process might look like for your child’s unique situation.
