Committed to Helping Protect Your Child's Future
Juvenile crimes are handled differently than adult crimes. They are subject to specific rules and procedures. These cases are decided by a juvenile court judge, rather than a jury. If your child has been accused of committing a crime, make sure you hire a lawyer who has a full understanding of the juvenile court system. You need a voice on your child's side.
At Christine & Christine, P.A., in St. Augustine, Florida, we defend minors against underage drinking and other criminal charges. We have extensive experience with the juvenile court system and understand the intricacies of these cases. When your child's future is at stake, our experience and knowledge can make a significant difference in the outcome of your case.
Comprehensive Juvenile Crime Defense
We have experience in defending minors against various charges, including:
- Minor in possession of alcohol
- Drug possession
- Sexual offenses
- Breaking and entering
- Disruption of a school function
- Criminal mischief
- Shoplifting
- Fighting
The consequences of juvenile offenses can be severe. School suspension or expulsion, mandatory curfews and excessive fines are just a few potential penalties. However, options may exist, depending on the specific charge. When possible, our attorneys will pursue creative resolutions, such as participation in diversionary programs, which can result in a dismissal of formal charges or probation. Throughout your case, we will work closely with you to evaluate your options and determine a strategy for your specific circumstances.

They use this knowledge to aggressively defend our juvenile clients.
