DENVER JUVENILE CRIMES DEFENSE ATTORNEY
It's no secret that juveniles make mistakes. The developing brain is not always capable of making sound judgment calls, and as a result, young people often find themselves on the wrong side of the law. Thankfully, Colorado's juvenile justice system is committed to rehabilitation and intervention to help prevent juvenile offenders from growing up to be adult criminals, and the Colorado juvenile courts operate differently then the adult system. Even so, juveniles can be tried as adults for certain crimes, and juvenile crimes and a juvenile criminal record can also potentially effect your child in the future if they are not sealed or expunged.

Expungement of juvenile criminal records
Depending on the nature of the case, juvenile crimes on your child's record may be expunged or sealed. An expungement order can be obtained, which effectively seals the case and prevents an future detriment to your child for a juvenile action or mistake in judgment.
In most circumstances, your child's juvniled criminal record may be expunged if he or she completes any mandated probation supervision or parole without being convicted of another crime and has no other pending delinquency or criminal proceedings. The court must decide that your child has been rehabilitated and that expunging the record would be in the best interest of the child and the community.
