Georgia Defense Attorney for Juvenile Cases
Marietta Juvenile Defense Lawyer
When it comes to juvenile law, it is important to choose a lawyer who can work with the law to serve the best interests of your child.
A lawyer with experience in juvenile court can help ensure that the court considers your child's best interests. Contact Attorney Mitch Durham if your child is facing a charge of:
- Drug offenses, smoking or selling of marijuana or prescription drugs
- Fighting including assault or battery charges
- Burglary or criminal trespass
- Robbery or theft
- Shoplifting
- Aggravated assault
- Underage Drinking or minor in possession of alcohol
- Weapons charge
In juvenile court, judges have the opportunity to use a great deal more discretion than in superior or state court. The judge can make decisions based on what is in the best interests of the child. For example, instead of being sentenced to jail time, the judge may order counseling, mediation or a treatment program. A solid case must be built to persuade the judge in order to utilize these resources. The first step is a thorough investigation which will ensure that the charges are appropriate. Mitch Durham will guide you and your child through the process, outlining the various options and outcomes you have.
Following the resolution of the case, you may be able to have the record sealed or expunged. If your child's case is expunged or the record is sealed, the offenses would not appear on any future background checks. The firm of Mitch Durham Attorney at Law has experience with this process as well.
