Las Vegas Juvenile Crime Defense Lawyers
Unfortunately, the perception that a juvenile record won't carry over into adulthood is often untrue. Juvenile records frequently appear on school and employment background checks and are certain to appear if the offender is accused of a crime as an adult. When an adult is sentenced, a juvenile record can lead to an increased sentence.
If your child faces juvenile criminal charges, now is the time to keep your child's record clean, keep your child free from incarceration and keep your child where he or she belongs - in school. If you have questions regarding juvenile legal defense, including charges of assault and battery, assault and battery with a weapon, shoplifting, petty larceny, car theft or minor in possession charges, contact the juvenile charges legal defense law firm of Ciciliano & Associates, LLC.
Experienced Juvenile Court Attorneys.
Attorney G. Luke Ciciliano has helped many people accused of criminal charges, including numerous juveniles. He also won a CALI award for his law school work in the area of juvenile criminal defense.
We can argue for full dismissal of charges based on violation of search and seizure laws and lack of probable cause. For instance, in a recent case, police charged a jaywalker with drug possession - a clear violation of probable cause laws. In another recent case, an innocent juvenile was accused of drug possession because he was with a friend who was arrested for possession of marijuana. In each case, we successfully argued for dismissal of charges.
If dismissal of charges is not a viable option at the beginning of court proceedings, there are often other routes. For instance, juvenile drug offenders who submit to drug counseling can have their charges dismissed at the end of their program if they complete it successfully.
