A Youthful Mistake Should Not Ruin a Future
A youthful indiscretion can sometimes rise to the level of criminal activity. An otherwise clean record may be tarnished. At Borsberry Law Offices, P.C. in Peoria, Illinois, we do not believe that a child should suffer lifelong consequences for a crime committed as a minor. We work hard to ensure that they are provided a chance at a promising future.
The importance of a clean juvenile criminal record cannot be overstated. Far too much is at stake for one mistake to cause such a negative impact. For help, contact us at 309-740-7246.
Time is of the Essence in a Juvenile Criminal Matter
At Borsberry Law Offices, P.C., we encourage parents to contact us immediately following the arrest of their child. The first step is to get them out of detention and back to your home and their school. Kids need the normalcy of living at home and attending school on a daily basis. We are able to represent minors facing every type of allegation, including serious allegations such as weapons offenses, robbery, drug charges, or juvenile sex crimes.
Providing Much-Needed Advocacy for Parents and Juveniles
We scrutinize all aspects of the alleged crime and subsequent arrest. We are at your side in the adjudicatory and dispositional hearings. In many cases, parents need representation as well. What the court decides for their children could affect them as well.
Protecting your child does not mean hiding the crime or shielding them from punishment. It requires a parent to contact a seasoned criminal defense attorney to get to work immediately on finding an outcome that is best for their child with the least damage to their future. There is a time and place for everything, including answering questions. You raised your child to be a good citizen, but you also must protect your child by telling them to remain silent when questioned by the police you and an attorney can be present. Before your child gives a statement to the police, please contact us.
