South Central Pennsylvania Juvenile Offense Attorney

Juvenile Offense Lawyer in Cumberland County, Dauphin County & York County

No parent wants to hear that his or her child has been arrested and charged with a crime.  If your child is facing criminal charges, it is your duty as a parent to do everything you can to support your child and protect his or her rights.  Children and young adults have so many future opportunities.  A long stay at a Secured Detention Center, jail time (if charged as an adult), fines, probation and other criminal punishments can seriously affect your child’s future plans for work, school and other endeavors.  The juvenile offense lawyers at Colgan & Associates, LLC can offer you the experienced and dedicated defense that you need if your child is facing serious criminal charges.

Generally speaking, a child under the age of 18 can be charged with the same types of crimes as an adult.  Sometimes, Prosecutors will choose to try the child as an adult, depending on the circumstances and severity of the case.  If charged with any criminal offense, it is advisable to get experienced juvenile defense counsel immediately.  Even offenses such as underage drinking need the experience and knowledge of a juvenile defense lawyer, as various options exist under Pennsylvania law.  No matter what your child’s case entails, it is still crucial to speak with an attorney to determine the best course of action for your child’s defense.  Remember, in today's society of high-tech gadgets, cell phones and Youtube, your child's mistakes can affect him or her for a lifetime.
