When A Youthful Mistake Becomes A Crime

Kids make mistakes. They can also be accused of things they didn’t do. No matter what happened, one thing is true: If you or someone you care about has been charged with a juvenile crime, you need a smart, tough juvenile defense attorney Fort Lauderdale who can get results.

At The Law Office of Gustavo E. Frances, P.A., I am a former assistant public defender who uses in-depth knowledge of the law to protect my clients’ rights. I represent people accused of a wide variety of juvenile crimes in the Fort Lauderdale area. Are you worried about the consequences of a juvenile crime? Call my law firm at 954-533-2756 to set up a free juvenile defense consultation. You can also reach me by email.

Experienced Defense Against A Variety Of Juvenile Crimes

Just about every crime that can be charged to adults can be charged to juveniles. Juveniles can also be charged with age-based offenses — actions that are against the law just because minors are too young to do them:

  • Underage drinking/possession of alcohol
  • DUI
  • Possession of a fake ID
  • Drug charges
  • Theft crimes
  • Drag racing
  • Battery on a school official
  • Resisting arrest
  • Vandalism

Minors do not usually need to worry about record clearing because juvenile records are sealed after a person reaches adulthood. However, crimes committed as a juvenile do count toward sentencing adult crimes. This means that a juvenile crime now can mean harsher consequences later.

That is why it is very important to work with a criminal defense attorney who is serious about juvenile crime. At The Law Office of Gustavo E. Frances, P.A., I take these matters very seriously. I have always been a fighter and I fight hard to help you get the best possible results in court.

Why Work With A Private Attorney?

Working with a private juvenile defense attorney in a juvenile law matter can make all the difference in the outcome of your case. A public defender may be severely overburdened with cases, unable to give you the personal attention you need and deserve. While the services of a public defender may be free, you may end up paying the price later on.

When you choose me to represent your child, I remain accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week. I will devote time to review the facts of a case and prepare it for trial. Most importantly, I will take the time to get to know you and your child, and what goals you want to accomplish in your case.
