Has Your Child Been Accused of a Crime?
If your child has been accused of a juvenile offense, you will have many questions. Will my child have to go to jail? Will my child face the same penalties as an adult? Will this one mistake ruin my child's future?
The attorneys at the law firm of Carucci Butler, LLC, in Wilmington, Delaware, can answer these questions and any other questions that you may have. We are experienced in the nuances of the juvenile justice system, and can help explain the juvenile process, the consequences that your child faces and the options that are available to you and your child.
The goal of the juvenile system is rehabilitation, not necessarily punishment. Our attorneys will help you understand the options that are available to your child. Contact Carucci Butler, LLC, by calling 302-482-5860 or sending us an e-mail.
Defense Against all Types of Juvenile Offenses
When a juvenile is accused of a crime, it is not handled in the same way as when an adult is accused of a crime. It is handled in family court. Our attorneys know how to navigate through the family law system.
Many juvenile offenses are alcohol related. Some of the most common are underage drinking, underage drunk driving and public intoxication.
We can also defend juveniles against other crimes, including:
- Drug possession, including marijuana possession
- Disorderly conduct
- Traffic violations
Defense Strategies in Juvenile Offense Cases
The juvenile system has a different goal than the adult system. Typically, that goal is rehabilitation, not punishment. The system is designed to help young offenders move forward in their lives and move in the right direction. For this reason, there are a number of programs that your child may be eligible for in order to avoid serious penalties.
If you are unaware of a beneficial program, or don't know how to take advantage of it, your child could suffer the consequences. Our attorneys can help guide your son or daughter toward one of these programs. Our lawyers will work with the parties involved in the case, including probation officers and counselors, in order to pursue a positive outcome for your child.
