“My son hung out with the wrong crowd and ended up in trouble. Trouble that would have made him lose his life for a couple of years behind bars. Laura came into the picture and helped him. She looked past what he did and believed in him. It’s been almost a year; he is off the streets and in college and still playing the violin. She did not only get him out of jail — as his mother, I believed she saved his life.” — Former Client

About Our Work In The New Jersey And New York Juvenile Justice Systems

Every child needs his or her own personalized defense. All children are unique with different needs and different circumstances related to their case. Some children need the help of court services and others need a strong defense because they did not do anything wrong. We will help determine the best defense for your child.

In New Jersey and New York, the juvenile justice systems do not simply focus on punishment. They are about rehabilitation. This may include participation in drug treatment or anger management programs, or psychological and peer interaction counseling. Sometimes just getting in trouble with parents is enough to teach a lesson.

It is critical to understand, however, that a juvenile offense may put your child in a serious legal situation. Some charges carry serious potential penalties such as probation, confinement in a juvenile detention center or even a waiver to the adult criminal justice system. Our lawyers can help children get the rehabilitative help they need or the defense they deserve.

As attorneys at a small law firm, we have the advantage of being able to work directly with our clients. We work with children, their parents and schools to help families find meaningful resolutions that will help their children in the long run.
