Seattle Juvenile Crimes Attorneys
Juvenile Crimes Lawyers in Seattle, Washington
Juvenile law is dramatically different from adult criminal law. The criminal defense attorneys at our Seattle firm have represented many juveniles and will work very hard to ensure that the case stays in the juvenile court system so that they will get the second chance they deserve. If you or a teenage family member needs skilled and experienced representation from a Seattle juvenile crime defense attorney, you have come to the right place.
Juvenile Law Cases
The criminal defense attorneys at our firm handle juvenile law cases that involve many different types of crime, including:
- Minor in possession of alcohol
- Assault
- Possession of marijuana
- Possession of drug paraphernalia
- Theft, including shoplifting and auto theft
- Destruction of property including malicious mischief
Our criminal defense lawyers also represent juvenile clients who have been arrested for DUI and other serious traffic offenses. However, DUI and most serious traffic offenses are not handled in the juvenile justice system but rather by adult municipal and district courts.
The Juvenile Legal System
Keeping an underage client in the juvenile system is extremely important, and will be a top priority. Our criminal defense lawyers will do everything they can to keep a juvenile from being tried as an adult. A juvenile crime defense attorney will also try to get the defendant into a diversionary program. A diversion program is an alternative to prosecution. If a juvenile fulfills his or her diversion agreement, the criminal record may be sealed.
