Essex County Juvenile Crime Attorney
A juvenile conviction can affect a student's future negatively when it comes to college applications and job opportunities — and it may impact applications for certain professional licenses and gun permits even in adulthood. Thus, it is important to seek legal advice if your child has been charged with a crime.
At DeGrado Halkovich, LLC, we defend young people against criminal charges of all kinds. We can provide strategic counsel and aggressive representation if your child has been accused of:
- A drug offense such as possession or sale of marijuana, cocaine or another controlled substance
- An underage DUI/DWI or another alcohol-related charge
- Vandalism, trespassing or breaking and entering
- A theft or property crime such as shoplifting
- Assault, weapons charges or another violent offense
- A crime that occurred in school
Minimizing Impact in the Present and the Future
New Jersey law allows for expungement of juvenile criminal records in some cases. Record expungement is a legal process that culminates in a clean slate, a clean record that does not show that an arrest or conviction ever occurred.
Defense lawyer Adamo Ferreira is highly experienced with record expungement, and he will personally handle your juvenile expungement case if you qualify and you wish to pursue a case.
