EL PASO COUNTY JUVENILE DEFENSE ATTORNEY
There's no question that teenagers make mistakes. Oftentimes, discipline from a parent or guardian can help young people learn to use better judgment. But when those mistakes lead to criminal charges, juveniles can find themselves on the wrong side of the law, facing substantial fines, mandatory community service, or even jail time, and can be left with a criminal record that can diminish their employment and educational opportunities well into the future.
Because of the long-lasting repercussions, having representation from a juvenile criminal defense lawyer is crucial when your child has been accused of breaking the law. Since 1991, juvenile criminal defense attorney Michael T. Kossen has served the legal needs of residents throughout Colorado, including expungement of juvenile criminal records. At the offices of Michael T. Kossen, P.C., we offer free initial consultations and flexible appointment scheduling. Contact us today and let us know how we can help.
Don't let a criminal conviction hinder your child's future
The Colorado juvenile justice system is committed to preventing youth who make mistakes from growing up to be adult criminals. Sentencing is usually focused on rehabilitation rather than punishment, but minor children can still be tried as adults, and in such cases, the applicable penalties are usually the same as those an adult would face. Even if tried as a juvenile, your child could end up with a criminal record that could affect his or her future.
Expungement or sealing of juvenile criminal records is possible and a juvenile defense lawyer can help you throughout the expungement process. An expungement of juvenile records will allow your child to truly put a bad juvenile decision behind him or her. It will help them avoid having a juvenile crime from affecting his or her future plans, goals and dreams.
