Juvenile Crimes

Representation for Juveniles Charged With a Crime

Anything that you can get in trouble for as an adult, you can get in trouble for as a juvenile. While the crimes that can get you in trouble are the same, the system and penalties people face upon conviction are not. The juvenile justice system is different from the criminal justice system — your attorney should be aware of these differences.

At the Law Office of Scott A. Lutes, we have been representing juveniles charged with a crime in Rhode Island for over 20 years. Our focus is on providing professional, confidential and aggressive legal representation to those charged with a crime that can have major impacts on their lives.

Types of Juvenile Crimes in Rhode Island

When a juvenile faces criminal charges, it is good to have an attorney versed in the criminal justice system on your side. Not only will an experienced attorney know the differences between the adult and juvenile justice system, he or she will understand the different forms of punishments available.

Here are some broad types of crimes faced by people we represent:

Punishment for Juvenile Crimes — Focus on Rehabilitation

From drug court and out-of-home placement in a training school to intensive outpatient counseling for chemical dependency, there are many different types of sentences that a court can impose on a juvenile adjudicated guilty of a juvenile crime. We will make sure a child receives the best shot at resolving this matter favorably.
