Frequently Asked Questions

Juveniles may face charges involving underage drinking, drug possession, traffic violations, vandalism, trespassing, assault and battery, and other offenses. The appropriate defense depends on the circumstances of the case, the child's age, and the nature of the allegations.
Not necessarily. Virginia law provides different rules for juvenile records than for adult criminal records, and the long-term impact can depend on the offense and how the case is resolved. It is important to understand the potential consequences before deciding how to handle a juvenile charge.
Having an attorney can help ensure that your child's rights are protected and that your family understands the options available. An attorney can review the allegations, explain the potential consequences, and work toward an outcome that addresses the situation while minimizing unnecessary long-term consequences.
