In both Pennsylvania and New Jersey, the juvenile court system is distinct from the state and federal criminal systems. As a former Camden County Assistant Prosecutor, attorney Stephen R. Piper understands the challenges facing juvenile offenders and how to use the system to protect their futures.
Everything from the terminology used in the courtroom to the penalties of the juvenile delinquency system are different. Answering your questions and helping you understand your options; we do more than just conduct a thorough investigation to build your defense. We look into programs that help kids who have been charged with adult crimes, so they do not get an adult record. If you need help, we will make sure you get it, without unnecessarily going into a juvenile detention facility.
Just like our criminal defense practice, our juvenile delinquency practice is wide-ranging. We are able to represent minors in every type of juvenile crime, including:
- Criminal Mischief
- Drug Crimes
- Underage Drinking
- Drunk Driving
- Violent Crimes
The most severe possible penalty facing juvenile offenders is to be tried as an adult in a traditional criminal court. Whether or not a juvenile is charged as an adult depends on the age and the crime. And even if one is charged as a juvenile, some criminal offenses can carry a penalty of up to four years in a juvenile detention center.
