Juvenile criminal charges are not a small matter. Many people assume that since it is juvenile
court, they don’t need to bother with a lawyer, they can just represent their
child themselves. Really, juvenile charges can have long term consequences, end
up in adult criminal court, and almost always would benefit from an experienced
lawyer with knowledge of how the juvenile criminal justice system differs from
the adult system. V. Iyer of Iyer Law office in Denver has experience both defending and prosecuting
both adults and minors, so he knows the ins and outs of how charges will
proceed in juvenile criminal courts of law.
In many cases, a kid will face juvenile criminal charges for fairly typical teen behavior like
vandalism or shoplifting, and a good
lawyer can keep these youthful mistakes from being held against a young person
for life, as having a mark on your criminal record can interfere with finding
jobs, applying to college and many other aspects of life. In more serious criminal charges, juveniles
may risk being tried in an adult court, and then the potential consequences are
drastic. V. Iyer and our team in Denver
can greatly improve your odds of a positive outcome in your juvenile criminal charges.
