- Alcohol possession

Helping Children Who Are Charged As AdultsWhile all criminal cases against juveniles are initiated in the juvenile court, the prosecutor may attempt to get a case transferred to an adult criminal court if the charge would be considered a felony in the adult system. We understand the standards for charging a minor and an adult and will argue vigorously against this option. If you or your child is charged as an adult, our attorneys will present a high quality criminal defense. |
