Juvenile Defense
North Jersey Juvenile Crime DefenseAt the office of Howard L. Egenberg, Attorney at Law, we provide skilled and experienced advice in cases involving at-risk children, teens, and young offenders facing charges ranging from shoplifting or underage drinking to violent crimes with the potential for adult certification and a prison term. To benefit from our experience and insight into the New Jersey juvenile justice system, contact criminal defense lawyer Howard L. Egenberg for a free consultation. Our law firm not only works toward the most favorable resolution of whatever criminal charge your child might be facing, but we also help parents get access to the counseling or therapeutic services that a young offender might need to support progress in school, recovery from a substance abuse problem, or anger management. Because the main distinction between the juvenile and adult criminal justice systems is the emphasis placed by the former on the possibility of treatment and rehabilitation, we find that it is very important to identify and engage the most effective services possible for your child based on his or her needs and the crime charged. We represent juveniles in New Jersey Superior Court and Municipal Court who face charges of such crimes as:
The most serious charges can result in an adult sentence on a violent crime under the No Early Release Act. In those cases, we will make a careful analysis of the possibility that the case could be remanded to Juvenile Court based on several factors, including your child's potential for effective treatment, developmental problems that would make it unfair for your child to be tried as an adult, or any other factor that could support keeping your child in the juvenile system. For additional information about our ability to defend your child against any felony or misdemeanor charge, contact an experienced criminal defense lawyer at the office of Howard L. Egenberg, Attorney at Law. |
