Lawyer for Juveniles Charged With Any Crime in Delaware
Perhaps more than anyone, juveniles facing criminal charges need a dedicated advocate who understands the importance of second chances. I have a lot of experience working with young people, both in my career as a criminal defense attorney and, in my personal life, as a coach of 7 championship athletic teams. Armed with many prosecutors, the Family Court system comes down hard on our kids.
As I stress time and again, the citizen needs to be pro-active about his or her arrest. If the family and a top defense lawyer are not fighting for a young person, who else will?
Parents should remember that being accused of a juvenile crime does not mean that their child is destined for a life outside the mainstream. Thousands of kids make immature decisions every day that can lead to a serious criminal charge. Times have changed from when the police, the prosecutors and even the judges grew up. The penalties for young people are much more severe. The Delaware Family Court can be a very serious place for any kid It is vital to keep your son or daughter's record clean. It really matters.
With the right guidance and the right juvenile crime defense attorney, many of these young people go on to lead full and productive lives. Contact me today to discuss your situation and the next steps to take in a free initial consultation.

I fight to get my juvenile clients the second chance they need. I understand the pressure many kids are under today. Part of my job is to understand the family dynamic and to be a source of both legal and personal advice for the whole family.
