Columbus Juvenile Crime Attorney
In the Columbus Ohio, people under the age of 18 at the time of a criminal offense are considered juveniles and are treated differently from adult offenders. A standardized criminal justice system deals with adults. However, with juvenile crime cases each state has its own juvenile justice system. Unlike the criminal justice system, which punishes perpetrators, the juvenile justice system seeks to rehabilitate.
Columbus’s juvenile justice system is a Home Rule system, which allows cities and counties throughout the state to function with a great deal of self-rule. Most juvenile justice services are provided by local government and vary from location to location.
Some of the Juvenile Crimes Our Criminal Atorney Defends Include:
- Robbery
- Assaults
- Drug Abuse
- Vandalism
- Burglary
The courts, police, youth advocacy, and community organizations work together to make a difference in the lives of juveniles who need help.
At our law firm in Columbus, juvenile offense casework is an integral part of our legal services. Parents and family are often confused about the rights of juveniles in a court of law. Juveniles have some of the same constitutional rights as adults, including the right to an attorney rights against self-incrimination, and the right to confront and cross-examine their accusers.
