Juvenile Defense
If your child has been accused of a crime, a parent has to make a lot of decisions quickly. The most important decision you make is to hire an attorney to protect the interests of your child.
Juvenile Defense
Volz Legal Group receive calls from parents and guardians whose children are facing juvenile delinquency charges. Naturally, they are very concerned about what the future holds for their children. We effectively defends under 17 year old juveniles against a wide variety of criminal charges. We believe that every young person deserves a chance to turn his or her life around and we can help them get that chance.
Don’t let your child talk to the police without a juvenile defense lawyer representing him or her. The police are not kidding when they tell you that anything your child says can and will be used against him or her in court. Despite what they might tell you and your child, if your child is under arrest or under investigation, the police are not there to help your child!
- Drug possession and dealing
- DUI/OUI
- Possession of alcohol
- Shoplifting, theft, and burglary
- Vandalism and property damage
- Violent crimes, such as assault
- Sex offenses
Pre-arrest representation
If the police want to interview your child, as a parent or guardian you have the right to be present during questioning and to insist that your child’s attorney be present too. With competent juvenile defense counsel present, your child won’t answer questions that might hurt him or her in court.
When you appear in juvenile court, you and your child will be confronted with a juvenile prosecutor, juvenile probation officer, a juvenile court judge, and possibly even the Department of Children and Families (DCF) investigators and social workers. To improve your chances of achieving a successful outcome for your child, you need a skillful juvenile defense lawyer to counsel you and your child, to negotiate with the prosecutor, and to represent your child in court.
