Greenwich Youthful Criminal Offenders Lawyer
Through special provisions for handling juveniles and youthful offenders, society offers a teenage offender a second chance at a clean record. If your teenage son or daughter has been arrested for a criminal offense, such as those listed below, you are doing well to search for an attorney with experience representing youthful offenders.
Contact the Law Offices of Douglas J. Wells to schedule a no-obligation consultation regarding criminal charges that your underage son or daughter now faces:
- Underage drinking
- Drug possession or distribution (marijuana or narcotics)
- Disorderly conduct
- Breach of the peace
- Other misdemeanors, such as vandalism
- Serious motor vehicle offenses, such as reckless driving
- Assault, including sex crimes
If your teenager is under 16, he or she is considered a juvenile, and the case will most likely be handled in Juvenile Court. Talk to a Connecticut underage drinking lawyer for more information and advice.
If your teenager is 16 or 17, he or she may be tried as an adult or may be referred to the Juvenile Court. The offender may also apply for a "youthful offender" status. If the teenager is found to have committed a crime, he or she may nonetheless end up with no record of conviction as long as the orders of the court are obeyed. This will include successfully completing terms of probation, paying any fines and fulfilling any other punishment orders of the court.
I am prepared to help you and your child pursue the most favorable outcome attainable after a criminal arrest. I represent youth in court proceedings, speaking on behalf of minors before prosecutors and judges. I help ensure that 16-year-olds and 17-year-olds are granted youthful offender status if possible, to prevent them from having a criminal record in the event of a "guilty" verdict.
