Juvenile Law
As parents, our first instinct is to protect our children. So we can imagine receiving a phone call from the police department about a child is a parent’s worst nightmare. The attorneys at CLM Law Firm have represented many of our community’s children from charges, ranging from simple misdemeanors to more serious cases in which the government has sought to prosecute a juvenile as an adult.
Juvenile law works differently in many ways, so if your child has been charged with any sort of crime, it is important to consult with an experienced juvenile law attorney as quickly as possible. Doing so can lessen the odds of your child facing more serious penalties – and may even result in reduced charges. This becomes critical as a juvenile begins the college admissions process or tries to gain employment. On many occasions, we have been able to seal a juvenile’s records so that they have the best chance at a successful future.
