Defending Juveniles Accused of Crimes
The law has a different view toward minors accused of criminal offenses. In theory, the system is dedicated to rehabilitation, rather than punishment, of juvenile offenders. However, a case still has serious consequences.
If your child has been accused of a juvenile offense, you have the right to enlist an attorney to try to avoid or minimize those consequences. At the law firm of Joseph T. Barberi, P.C., we are committed to keeping your child's future options wide open, unhindered by the repercussions of a juvenile criminal record.

In most circumstances, a child under 17 is most likely to be prosecuted as a juvenile. However, serious criminal offenses can lead to a child being charged as an adult. Our legal team is committed to preventing this from happening. We will work hard to keep the case in juvenile court in order to seek the most favorable outcome. If a case is removed to adult court, we have the experience to stand up for the rights of your child. In fact, we have more than 30 years of experience providing strong criminal defense to clients accused of a variety of crimes.
We know how to seek out opportunities to keep a client's record clean, including using consent calendar options. When you enlist us to represent your son or daughter in a juvenile crime case, you can be certain that we will work hard to get the results your child needs.
