If you are found to be delinquent (guilty) of any juvenile offense, from underage drinking, to drug possession to homicide, the charge will show up on your adult record. If you are ever charged as an adult in criminal court, your prior juvenile record could determine whether you are charged with a misdemeanor or a felony.

Juvenile crime lawyer Sally A. Frick vigorously defends young people accused of all types of juvenile offenses, including:

• Drug crimes
• Date rape
• Sex crimes
• Homicide
• Weapons crimes
• Underage drinking
• DUI / drunk driving
• Theft

Young people arrested for homicide, are immediately certified as adults, and charged in adult criminal court. Juveniles can also be charged as adults in cases of robbery, rape, and aggravated assault. In these cases, Attorney Frick will seek to have her clients decertified and the cases returned to juvenile jurisdiction, where the emphasis is on rehabilitating the child, rather than on punishment.
