Juvenile Crime Defense Lawyers Serving O’Fallon, St. Charles County, And Surrounding Counties
As a parent, there’s nothing more distressing than watching your child get into trouble with the law. And as a child, there’s nothing more overwhelming than facing criminal charges at a young age. In such situations, a juvenile defense attorney can make all the difference in the world.
Suddarth & Koor, LLC, knows the juvenile justice system works a little differently than the adult criminal justice system. When an adult violates a criminal statute or commits a criminal traffic offense, he or she is charged with a misdemeanor or felony, depending on the offense. The penalties for a conviction are defined in statutes and usually include jail time and fines, or one or the other.
If you or your child has become involved in the delinquency process, contact Suddarth & Koor, LLC for a free consultation. Our attorneys have nearly 40 years of combined experience.
