Juvenile Delinquency Defense Assistance In Minneapolis
The juvenile justice system requires that the least restrictive means available be used to restore a child to law-abiding behavior. Extended juvenile jurisdiction (EJJ) and adult certification expose children to much more severe consequences. If your child is facing repercussions as a result of alleged criminal activity, it is crucial to have a lawyer with a broad knowledge of programming handling the case.
At Groshek Law PA in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Christa Groshek understands the unique needs of minors and how to protect their rights in juvenile court.
Juvenile Delinquency
Having knowledge of programming and how the juvenile justice system works is imperative to protecting the rights of minors. If Christa Groshek does not agree with the state’s recommendations, she is skilled at arguing for a different solution and steering a case into delinquency rather than EJJ or adult certification.
If kept in delinquency court, there will not be a conviction; there will be an adjudication of delinquency, which makes sure the immature act does not follow the juvenile into adulthood.
Attorney Christa Groshek has also been successful in keeping offenses off of a juvenile’s record altogether.
Protecting Your Child’s Reputation
When a child over the age of 16 is charged with a felony, information about the case will be available to the public even if the charges are reduced to a low-level misdemeanor. The only way to prevent this is to prevent felony charges from being brought.
