Juvenile Charges

Virginia Juvenile Crime Defense Attorney

Serving Fairfax, Loudoun County, Prince William County, Arlington, and Alexandria

The charges and consequences facing juvenile offenders are different from the charges and consequences facing adult offenders. From minor possession charges to assault and battery, if you have been charged with a juvenile crime, you want a defense from a lawyer who understands the juvenile law system in Virginia. At the Fairfax law offices of Karen Scarborough, we give juvenile crime defense the same preparation and dedication as our adult criminal law cases.

The juvenile court system allows offenders to go through a rehabilitation process, so they can avoid having a criminal record. A juvenile crime conviction will not ruin your life. We understand what the court offers in terms of alternative sentencing and keep that under consideration for all our juvenile defense work. We work closely with probation officers and the prosecution to find a solution that works for alleged offenders, and to make sure their rights are protected as they progress through the system. We handle a variety of juvenile crimes, including:

Minor in Possession of Alcohol
Drug Possession
Assault and Battery
Breaking and Entering
Burglary
Robbery
Gang Related Crimes

Analyzing the Evidence in Juvenile Crime Defense

Although the options for alternative sentencing and the consequences for conviction might be the same, we approach juvenile crime defense much like our criminal defense practice. We are dedicated to preparation, going to the scene, collecting evidence, and talking to witnesses to help us understand whether the state has a case. Every piece of evidence is important to your defense.
