Cobb County Juvenile DUI Defense Attorney
Minors often engage in risky behavior. This may be in part due to their ignorance of real consequences. No matter the reason, it is the job of the adults in their lives, especially their parents, to help educate and protect them when they make mistakes that may have consequences they couldn't foresee.
Those consequences can include:
- Incarceration
- Fines
- Investigations into home life
- Community service
- Negative impacts on college applications
- Negative impacts on financial aid
- The possibility of a criminal record that will be visible to potential employers
- The possibility of removal to adult court
Just because it is an underage violation does not mean that a less than robust defense is acceptable. Do not attempt to negotiate on your child's behalf with the prosecution. Let our Marietta juvenile offense lawyer help preserve your child's future.
At The Young Firm, we bring decades of defense experience and a former Cobb County prosecutor to the aid of each of our clients facing charges such as:
- Underage DUI
- Minor in possession of alcohol (underage drinking)
- Marijuana possession
- Truancy
- Shoplifting
- Vandalism
