Edwardsville Juvenile Felony Lawyer

Edwardsville Juvenile Felony Attorney

Many people believe that the mistakes they make in adolescence won’t follow them into adulthood. That may be true with some mistakes, but it is not necessarily true with juvenile criminal charges — especially juvenile felony charges.

Typically, when juveniles break state or federal laws, they are considered a delinquent — not a criminal — and face punishments that are doled out in juvenile court. However, depending on the severity of the charges, a juvenile can be charged as an adult. In addition to facing steeper penalties, this also increases the likelihood that the charges will land on the teen’s criminal record.
