Newark Juvenile Drug Offenses Lawyer
New Jersey Underage Possession Lawyer
Juveniles convicted of drug offenses face serious consequences, including, but not limited to loss of driving privileges, probation, custodial drug treatment and/or custodial incarceration. In most instances, juvenile offenses are resolved in Family Court. Depending on the seriousness of the offense, some juvenile offenders under the age of 18 may be treated as adults and waived up to Superior Court. The consequences doled out by the criminal justice system are compounded by the cold, hard realities of life once your son or daughter has completed his sentence as a juvenile.
For instance, a juvenile convicted of a drug offense may not be eligible for student loans and could have a very hard time getting the education needed to maximize his or her potential. It can also be difficult to find a job, get a loan or even rent an apartment with a drug conviction on your record, even if it happened in your youth.
To help your son or daughter right now, contact me, Newark juvenile drug offense attorney Gwendolyn O. Austin, for a free, confidential consultation. Working together, we can find the solutions needed to protect your child's future.
