Westchester County Juvenile Crimes Lawyer

Juvenile Defense Attorney Serving Westchester County, NY

Juvenile law is an area of law that deals with minors who have committed criminal offenses. These often involve underage drinking, drugs, criminal mischief and violations of probation.

If your child has been arrested or accused of any criminal offense, it is crucial that you consult a juvenile crimes lawyer as soon as possible. A conviction at this age may result in lost opportunities in education and employment, affecting your child's entire future. Just as in the criminal justice system for adults, a minor has particular rights and freedoms that should be protected, and this is best done with the help of a highly experienced attorney, who can, at minimum advocate that your child be given youthful offender status, which is discretionary in New York for children under 19 years of age.
