WA Juvenile & Student Crimes Attorney

If your child has been charged with a juvenile offense you are right to be worried. Your child has their whole life in front of them and you obviously want to protect their future. Without swift and effective legal representation, a criminal case involving a minor can become more complicated than necessary or result in serious consequences like the creation of a criminal record and the possibility of juvenile detention. Both of which can be difficult to recover from. If your minor son or daughter has been accused or charged with any criminal offense, contact juvenile and student crimes attorney Morgan Fletcher Benfield to find answers to your questions and the best possible outcome for your child. Call (253) 518-3643 to schedule a free, no-risk consultation.

HOW A JUVENILE ATTORNEY CAN HELP DEFEND YOUR CHILD

It is crucial to seek the guidance of a Washington criminal defense lawyer for any juvenile charges. With the help of an experienced juvenile and student crimes attorney, you can present the facts of your child’s case in a positive light, negotiate for a reduction in charges or dismissal if possible, facilitate their participation in diversion or probation programs, and if needed, fight for them in court. Although minors are not entitled to a jury trial, they do have the right to an “adjudication” before a judge who applies the same “beyond a reasonable doubt” burden of proof. Therefore, an attorney’s expertise is critical to navigating this process as quickly and effectively as possible to minimize negative consequences.

As a parent, you understand the importance of a clear criminal record for your child’s future opportunities, such as college admissions, employment, or financial aid. If an arrest or conviction does appear on their record, a lawyer can assist with sealing, vacating, or expunging the conviction in certain circumstances, which can essentially erase the incident or keep it permanently hidden from view. Contact The Law Offices of Morgan Fletcher Benfield, PLLC at (253) 518-3643 for a free and confidential consultation to discuss your child’s case and explore all available options.
