Juvenile Defense Attorney
Trusted juvenile defense lawyers serving Fairfax, VA and surrounding areas
When a young person is charged with a crime, the incident may not seem serious until you realize that your son or daughter is facing a legal problem that can have a lifelong impact on his or her future. A criminal record as an adolescent or teen can have a negative impact on an academic record, which can snowball into losing opportunities for college and employment. Getting your child the rehabilitative help he or she needs now should be your primary objective.
In addition, a juvenile charged with a criminal offense can also simultaneously face expulsion and suspension proceedings from their school for incidents that have occurred inside and outside of school hours and both on and off school property. Many schools have school resource officers who are required to report certain criminal charges to a child’s school whether the incident occurred during school or on school property. A criminal conviction for a serious school violence offense can result in expulsion or incarceration in a juvenile detention center. In some serious offenses, the prosecution can seek to certify your child as an adult which then exposes your child to the adult criminal justice system.
