Young people often make poor choices that have unfortunate consequences. If your child has been charged with a criminal offense, seek immediate legal counsel from our attorneys.

Even though juvenile records are sealed from public view, an adjudication of delinquency can seriously damage a minor's future prospects, from schooling to future careers.

Juveniles are commonly charged with shoplifting, assault, tobacco and alcohol related crimes, trespass, joyriding, etc. Entrust one of our attorneys to help keep your child on a successful path.

Juvenile Delinquency: Drug Possession, Underage DUI & Underage Drinking

Minors (those under the age of 18) who have been charged with a crime in Tennessee generally face it in juvenile court. There are extreme cases, such as the nature of the charge and circumstances surrounding it, that may lead a prosecutor to try a minor as an adult. However, these are more serious cases.

Our Clinton juvenile crime attorneys can effectively defend your child in all types of criminal charges, including:

  • Drug charges
  • Underage drinking
  • Underage DUI charges
  • Truancy
  • Vandalism
  • Shoplifting
  • Assault
  • Dependency & Neglect

Proceedings can be brought forth in juvenile court when a child is being abused or neglected. While they can be initiated by concerned relatives, caretakers or teachers, they are often conducted at the request of the Department of Children's Services (DCS). Whether you are the parent and need an experienced Clinton criminal defense lawyer against such allegations or are the concerned party, we can help make sure your child's best interests are maintained.
