I am a criminal defense attorney committed to helping families address the legal ramifications of juvenile criminal charges. For a free and confidential consultation, call me today at 866-646-9368.
Taking Juvenile Crime Seriously
When your child has been charged with a juvenile crime, trite sayings such as “boys will be boys,” “sowing wild oats” or “youth must have its fling” do little to address the serious nature of the situation. A criminal conviction can forever alter your son or daughter’s future educational and career prospects.
At The Law Office of Gwendolyn O. Austin, I address juvenile criminal matters with families, taking steps to minimize the impact of a conviction on a minor child’s life. If you are a parent whose child has been arrested for a crime, I invite you to contact me. I handle a variety of juvenile-related crimes, including:
- Drug Crimes
- Car Theft – Joy Riding
- Theft and Property Crimes
- Harassment
- Simple Assault
- Aggravated Assault
- Vandalism
- Under-Aged Drinking
Assisting Parents
Together we can look at your child’s situation rationally and practically and explore options. I set realistic expectations for my clients and look at alternatives to harsh sentencing such as community service, fines and restitution, or probation.
Having an advocate who cares and will guide you through an often-confusing process can make a significant difference in your child’s case. Working with an attorney who sees matters from a personal level and provides appropriate service can give you strength during an emotionally challenging family time.
I look forward to assisting you. If you would like to schedule a free and confidential consultation with me to discuss your child’s juvenile criminal charges, please contact me today. Together we can chart a course for a brighter future for your children. Call 866-646-9368.
