Juveniles can be accused of crimes --- as confusing as that might be for a child and their parents.
Now, while many children
are tried as minors in juvenile court, there are others that are tried
as adults because the crimes that they are accused of committing are quite serious.
What You Need to Know
If your child has been accused of a crime, it is your
right to secure the help of an experienced Minnesota Criminal Defense Attorney to

news is that the maximum penalties do not necessarily have to be paid.

Protecting the Rights of Juveniles
Having had been a kid myself ... and one who got himself into a wee-bit of trouble ... I understand the nuances associated with juvenile cases. Having had work both as a juvenile prosecutor and a defense attorney I get the complexity of the juvenile justice system. I also have a fairly solid grasp on its resources and the programs that are available to minors who have committed a crime.
I work to absolve my clients of criminal penalties as well as to protect their charges from being part of the public record. Many attorneys who do not focus on juvenile law fail to understand that both issues are important, as felonies — even after being negotiated down — will remain public unless they are dealt with properly.
In the end, I appreciate that minors are children, not adults, and need to be treated as such. As such, they should be given a chance to resolve issues rather than have their reputations/futures ruined. I'll work with the state and the judge to develop a program that is best suited to meet the needs of the minor and that will allow the best chance for a successful future.
At the Rolloff Law Office, your child will be treated like an individual, not a legal problem. For a free initial consultation*, contact me today: (612) 234-1165 to set up a FREE CONSULTATION.
