Juvenile Offenses


Covington, Kentucky, Juvenile Offense Lawyer

The juvenile system, when functioning as intended is designed to provide youthful offenders with an opportunity to turn their lives around and enter adult life without a criminal record. However, if a young person is charged with a juvenile crime and the matter is not handled properly, the consequences can be lifelong. Attorney Paul J. Dickman, at our Covington, Kentucky, firm has extensive experience in representing children and adolescents charged with juvenile offenses.

If your child has been charged with a juvenile offense be sure that he or she has a lawyer present when talking with police or prosecutors. Contact our Covington firm for a free consultation with juvenile crime attorney Paul J. Dickman.

The criminal justice system is often confusing, and frightening to young people. Unsure of their surroundings, they may make statements to police or prosecutors, which can permanently and irreversibly damage their cases. At your free consultation, our lawyer will explain the possible outcomes from charges for a juvenile crime, tell you exactly what to expect and offer strategies for juvenile court.

Juvenile court proceedings are completely confidential, meaning the hearings are private, and juvenile criminal records may be expunged. There are excellent juvenile diversionary programs available as alternatives to jail or prison, but if the case is handled improperly, the young person may be tried as an adult, possibly facing far more serious consequences than necessary.
