San Bernardino & Redlands Juvenile Defense Lawyer
We Help Defend the Rights of Minors Against Criminal Charges in San Bernardino and Riverside Counties
As experienced juvenile criminal defense lawyers in San Bernardino, we at Milligan, Beswick, Levine & Knox LLP are especially dedicated to handling cases for juveniles. We understand the impact that a conviction may have on a juvenile and his or her future. In order to protect them, it’s important to take immediate action immediately following a criminal charge against a minor with a juvenile criminal defense attorney in Riverside who serves the Inland Empire. Our team of experienced criminal defense lawyers consists of Stephen Levine, (1 of only 5 California Bar Certified criminal defense specialists in San Bernardino County), and James Knox with nearly 20 years of experience.
At Milligan, Beswick, Levine & Knox LLP, we believe that being straightforward with clients, and having them be straightforward with us, allows us to better communicate and defend them in and out of court. When dealing with juvenile crime matters, our attorneys take the time to explain to the juvenile, and his or her parents or guardians, the options they may have for reaching a solution to the issues and the types of punishments they may be facing.
Juveniles convicted of a crime may be incarcerated at a juvenile detention facility, may have to pay fines or restitution, or have their ability to obtain a driver’s license delayed or revoked. Future events, such as applying for college or a job, may also be negatively impacted by a juvenile conviction.
Juvenile Underage Drinking & DUI
One of the types of juvenile crime charges that we often handle is underage drinking. This type of offense is aggravated by any drinking and driving that may have occurred. We aggressively stand up for clients’ rights in and out of court, possibly seeking alternative consequences, such as rehabilitation and treatment for the juvenile to deal with the drinking and other issues that may be connected. An underage drinking conviction may lead to the juvenile’s driver’s license being suspended or the ability to obtain a license restricted until they are of a certain age.
Other Common Juvenile Charges We Handle Regularly
We consistently handle a wide variety of other types of juvenile charges for our clients, including:
- Shoplifting
- Vandalism
- Drug crimes – such as possession
- Theft
- Gang charges
- Weapons offenses
