Hiring an experienced defense lawyer in NJ can prevent your child from heading to juvenile detention if convicted of an offense. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE / PRURGENT
New Jersey law treats juvenile crime very seriously as a fundamental consideration is to address the cause before it results in a much bigger issue. While the welfare of a juvenile offender is a prime consideration in the juvenile justice system, penalties that include incarceration in a Juvenile Detention Center are common. Some may argue that this ‘scared straight’ approach inhibits youth offenders from future criminal activity.
The best possible outcome for a juvenile offender is resolution that involves nothing more than restitution, community service, supervision (e.g. mentoring), probation, or another rehabilitative measure. However, if these options are insufficient to address the cause, confinement is the next step. A criminal defense attorney experienced in handling juvenile cases can often provide the best opportunity to avoid the escalation of a juvenile case to this level.
The frightening reality is that thousands of young people are locked up every year in the nation’s 591 juvenile detention centers. And make no mistake, juvenile detention centers expose juvenile offenders to many of the environment characteristics encountered in adult jails. Negative attitudes, poor outlook, violence, anger and dysfunctional habits are commonplace. We have to ask ourselves then, when do we draw the line between the interests of the youth and exposure of the offender to an environment that can potentially scar him for the rest of his life? The attorneys at the Law Offices of John F. Marshall believe that confinement of a youth in a detention center is the absolute last resort as it frequently interferes with recovery and psychological rehabilitation.
We can’t stress enough the importance of hiring an experienced and well-qualified juvenile defense attorney as early as possible in a juvenile case. It is critically important that a lawyer knowledgeable in juvenile law be enlisted. The attorneys at the Law Offices of John F. Marshall possess this expertise and work diligently to achieve the best possible outcome for families of children facing juvenile charges. Favorable results are the norm and extreme outcomes for clients including, for example, recently obtaining probation (i.e. no incarceration) in an armed robbery case, are not uncommon.
