EXPERIENCED IN JUVENILE MATTERS
Sometime children lack good decision-making skills. Mistakes don’t have to keep your child from having a promising future. Many people think when a child or teenager is accused of a crime, such as minor in possession, that it can easily be dismissed. This is not the case.
It is serious, and you must protect your child with a Livingston County juvenile court defense attorney.
A convicted crime for a juvenile, like a minor in possession charge in Howell, includes a criminal record. This can be seriously damaging to your child. Many parents are surprised when they discover a child’s minor in possession record is not always immediately sealed and expunged when he/she turns 18 years old. This is especially true for serious offenses, like sex crimes or crimes of violence, which may result in a felony. In some cases, an adjudication (or judgement) of certain crimes can mandate the removal of the child from the home. An aggressive juvenile court defense attorney can fight to protect your child from these threats.
