Re: Juvenile Crime

You can predict the likely outcome of a conviction by the juvenile's current status. If he is sitting in juvenile detention center because the judge refuses to release him to his family pending trial or if he is on house arrest and required to wear an

electronic bracelet he is likely to do some time if convicted, but it not really that simple. A better answer requires an office consultation.

Call me if you like.

Re: Juvenile Crime

One of the problems with juvenile crime is that it can be impossible to figure out what the sentence would be. However, the upside of this is that it gives me, as the attorney, a lot of room to argue for probation.

My office is not that far from you, so feel free to call me at 732/247/3340 and then we can discuss the specifics of the case. My initial consultations are always free.
