Re: (charges) criminal

The prosecutor may choose to file new charges in addition to those originally filed by the police department, depending on the facts presented. Based on your daughter's age the case may be handled by Family Court, but the law does provide jurisdiction for specific felonies in adult Criminal Court. Before you begin evaluating your daughter's rights against her school, you should speak to an attorney to begin assessing her defense of the criminal matter. You are welcome to call for a free consultation.
