Juvenile Offenses / Delinquency
If your minor son or daughter (less than age 17) has been charged with a crime—called a “delinquency action” in Michigan—you will soon enter a world very unfamiliar to most attorneys. The number of attorneys who handle juvenile cases is very low even amongst criminal defense attorneys. Many are not familiar enough with the different rules of procedure or are simply disinterested in this area of law.
We have defended children and young adults charged with everything from sex offenses to larceny to narcotics offenses. We will be more than happy to answer your questions and honestly assess your need for representation.
If your minor child is accused of a crime, he/she will likely receive a notice to appear for a Preliminary Inquiry at Juvenile Court. If your child is accused of a “serious” felony and is over 14 years old, he/she may be charged as an adult through a “waiver proceeding.” Under either scenario, you should contact our attorneys for guidance.
When looking for a lawyer to represent your child, ask the prospective attorney how many delinquency cases he/she handles. If the number is low, call us. We will put our experience and caring to work for you, and more importantly, for your child.
