Miami Juvenile Criminal Defense Attorneys

Representing Minors Accused of Serious Offenses in South Florida

When juveniles are accused of committing crimes, they are subject to serious consequences. While the goal of the juvenile justice system is rehabilitation, you or your child’s future could be in jeopardy. Although the juvenile justice system is geared toward rehabilitation, law enforcement officers and prosecutors can be unforgiving and show little mercy when a child is accused of a crime. Don't take a chance with your child's future.

It is important that you contact an attorney who has experience not only in state criminal defense but also in representing minors. The criminal justice process for juveniles is not the same as for adults; it is important that your attorney knows how to navigate the process in order to better your chance of securing a favorable outcome.
