Christa will fight to protect your child against being charged as an adult or under EJJ.
She understands the resources and programs available to children who have been charged with a crime, and she will work with the state and the judge to develop a program that is best suited to the needs of the minor.

Many lawyers do not realize that even if a felony charge against a juvenile over the age of 16 is negotiated down, it will still be a matter of public record. Christa understands this and negotiates on her clients' behalf to restore juvenile confidentiality, protecting juveniles from having their adjudication remain in the public eye.
