Young adults do not realize that a casual passing of threatening references about a teacher on Facebook can result in their arrest. Juveniles have been arrested for threatening to kill the teacher on Facebook. A teenager may have been blowing off steam with no real intent or ability to carry out the threat, but that teen can, in fact, be arrested for a felony.
As a parent, you are likely frightened thinking about how a criminal conviction will impact your child’s future and whether or not they will be tried as an adult. Depending on numerous factors, including age and the nature of the crime, a juvenile can be tried as an adult in court.
While we cannot guarantee results, we are committed to doing everything legally and practically possible to resolve or dismiss your juvenile’s case favorably.

Our mission is to ensure juveniles are given the opportunity to turn their lives around and don’t simply end up in a detention center.
