Juvenile Defense Attorney in Denton County

Denton County Criminal Defense Lawyer

When a minor is charged with a crime, the criminal process is usually different than it is for adults. Minors are treated with some leniency; are detained in juvenile detention centers; and are imprisoned in juvenile correctional facilities so that they are not in the same facilities as convicted adults.

The penalties for minors are also different. Most juvenile offenders face a fine and may be sent home on probation instead of being sent to juvenile detention. Even though these penalties are less serious than the fines and imprisonment that adults face, a criminal conviction can still have a harsh impact on a minor. This is why it is beneficial to have a juvenile defense attorney in Denton County.

How a Conviction Can Affect a Juvenile

Aside from the fines and time spent in juvenile detention (when applicable), minors can face harsh consequences with their friends and family. A child can lose the respect of their peers, as well as of their teachers and coaches, when they are convicted of a crime. Even if the minor is not convicted, they could lose their solid reputation simply by facing charges. They may also lose opportunities for the following:

  • receiving scholarships
  • attending school events
  • gaining admittance to colleges
