Juvenile Crime Attorney Dallas-Fort Worth
Plano, Frisco, Allen, and McKinney Juvenile Crime Lawyer
Juvenile offenders (minors ages 10 through 16) can be prosecuted for committing crimes. One of the main differences between the juvenile and adult justice systems is that under juvenile law (except in rare instances) juveniles are not entitled to jury punishment. A judge is the one who decides what punishment your son or daughter will receive after a finding that he or she committed a crime in most cases. Depending on the crime, a juvenile who is found guilty may be put away up in a youth penitentiary system ("TYC") for a number of years or placed in a lock-down facility out of town; and a conviction can stay on your child's record for life unless you have the record cleared.
Juvenile crimes and offenders are often treated aggressively by prosecutors, probation officers, and police officers – as though they were adults. The Law Office of Brock Duke cares about your child's future and can provide representation in many areas of juvenile crime, including but not limited to:
