Our Juvenile Defense Attorneys Protect the Rights of Michigan Teens

If you are underage and are charged with a criminal offense in Michigan, or if your minor child has been charged with a crime, it is crucial that you hire an experienced juvenile defense attorney in Michigan as soon as possible.

A Juvenile Charge Must Be Taken Seriously

A juvenile crime is defined as an illegal act that is committed by an individual under the age of 17 years. Offenses may range from misdemeanor theft or shoplifting to DUI or drug charges to assault or other violent crimes.

Many parents and children assume that because the illegal act was committed by a minor they will not be subject to severe legal penalties. However, this is not the case.

Juvenile crimes are taken very seriously in Michigan and can result in severe punishments and a permanent record. In the cases of a minor nearing the age of 17, there is a chance that he or she may be charged as an adult. Additionally, the damage done to your reputation can follow you and your family for the rest of your life.
