KNOXVILLE JUVENILE CRIMINAL DEFENSE LAWYERS
Juveniles who are accused of delinquency can face fines, community service, or time in detention. A criminal record can impact future opportunities, such as college or employment. Some juvenile charges can result in the accused being tried as an adult, based on age and the seriousness of the alleged crime. It is important to immediately contact an attorney experienced in representing juveniles if you or a loved one is facing juvenile charges.
In Tennessee, police can legally question a child without a parent or attorney present. Officers are also permitted to lie to children to obtain a confession or other details of a case. If your child is facing charges, we recommend instructing your child to immediately request a parent and an attorney before answering law enforcement questions. We are here to help advocate for your child and seek the best outcome for their future.
Do not let a bad decision ruin future prospects.
