6 Juvenile Crime Cases Seen By Criminal Defense Attorneys

December 18, 2018
Written on behalf of Daniel H. Chambers Attorney at Law, P .C.

Do you remember what you were like as a kid? There’s a good chance you made a lot of mistakes growing up. We all did. There’s a lot of learning and development that takes place before a person turns 18, and sometimes kids make bad decisions.

Unfortunately, not all bad decisions are equal and some of them can lead to serious legal trouble. Here are six common cases we’ve seen as juvenile criminal defense attorneys.

• Tickets from state troopers. This includes speeding and other traffic violations.
• Driving under the influence (DUI). Drinking under the age of 21 is illegal in Alabama. Driving while intoxicated could lead to major problems.
• Possession of illegal drugs. The most common is marijuana, but we’ve also seen possession charges for cocaine, heroin, and others.
• Drug trafficking. If your child is dealing drugs, there are some severe consequences if they get caught.
• A lot of the time kids get assault charges from fights, but some go far beyond that with assault.
• Underage drinking. As mentioned earlier, under 21 is illegal.

This blog post should not be taken as official legal advice. If your child is facing criminal charges in the county or municipal courts, it’s best to speak with an experienced attorney, like Daniel H. Chambers, Attorney at Law, PC.

Mr. Chambers is a respected attorney in the Alabama legal community who will investigate any possibilities available to get the charges against your child dropped. If that is not possible, he will negotiate the best possible plea to minimize the impact of a conviction on your child’s future.

Mr. Chambers is also prepared to fight for you in the courtroom. He prepares thoroughly for every case to be ready to make the best possible arguments on your behalf in court.
