Our Kirkland Juvenile Crime Lawyers Offer Trustworthy Counsel

Your child will face an automatic detention hearing only two days after they're arrested for an alleged juvenile crime. Your Kirkland juvenile criminal lawyer will outline how the court handles these sensitive cases and review potential outcomes specific to your case.

While the state is required to supply a public defender, sometimes they are not available on short notice, and you have immediate concerns that warrant attention. Our lawyers offer a cost-free consultation so that you can start getting answers without delay.

Judges render decisions in juvenile cases, as opposed to adult cases which often involve a jury trial. Our Kirkland juvenile lawyers can defend your child against any of the following charges:

  • Minor DUI
  • Crimes involving drugs
  • Assault
  • Shoplifting
  • Robbery or Burglary
  • Vandalism (Criminal Mischief)

Your attorney will interview your child in order to find out the details surrounding their arrest. In cases involving serious crimes, the prosecution may attempt to try your child as an adult. This is something to avoid at all costs, so your lawyer will work hard to prevent this from happening.

The juvenile court's primary purpose is to rehabilitate minors. For this reason, it's possible your child could be enrolled in a treatment program. Youths may also face punishments that include community supervision, probation, detention, and jail time, although they may only be sentenced until their 21st birthday.

Every criminal case involving minors require skillful litigation, which is why our Kirkland juvenile crime attorneys seek to develop a strategy that focuses on protecting your child's best interests. We will be at your child's side during police questioning. Your attorney may even request that your child be placed in a diversion program, which will eradicate the charges from their record.

I spoke with Jason's both in-person and by phone; felt very comfortable with his years of experience and straight talk. He took on my case, took me through the process with sound advice. The Attorney Erin Lane who accompanied me with my court appearances; can't praise and thank her enough for her time, selflessness and educational information prior to each court appearance.
