Parsippany Juvenile Defense Attorney

Juvenile Crimes in New Jersey

A minor can be charged with any crime that any adult can. The only difference is that juvenile cases will most likely be heard in a juvenile court and be subjected to a different set of punishments. It is important to preserve your child's clean record as they can have great difficulty in employment, education, and other issues if they don't have a skilled defense lawyer managing their case.

The Law Offices of Christopher G. Porreca, P.C. can engage in negotiations with the prosecution to have your child's charges reduced or dropped, or to seek alternative sentencing, based upon the charges involved. It is important that you retain a Morris County criminal defense attorney for your child's charges.
