Defending Your Child in Criminal Matters
When children in Maryland and Washington, DC, are charged with a crime, the courts can be very hard on them depending on the severity of the offense. The tendency in these types of cases can be to level extremely harsh penalties, including jail time, in an effort to scare the child straight.
In juvenile law cases, you need an experienced lawyer who can advocate for rehabilitative programs and alternative methods of punishment on your child's behalf. The criminal justice system should involve reforming young offenders, not just punishing them. Greenbelt, Maryland attorney Kelli I.
