Juvenile Criminal Defense
The court does not automatically treat youths with "kid gloves." Criminal defense lawyers Laura Baker and Lucas T. Baker have represented juveniles facing severe punishment for serious crimes. Their first emphasis is to keep the matter in juvenile court, where there are lesser penalties and more options than in district court (adult court).
The Bakers have defended juveniles on a wide full range of criminal charges, including:
- Underage drinking
- Drunk driving
- Drug possession
- Shoplifting or thefts at school
- Assaults and fights
- Damage to property
- Truancy
A juvenile crime does not have to ruin your child's future. The Bakers work closely with the court-appointed juvenile counselor, who evaluates the child's situation and makes recommendations to the judge. We try to negotiate alternatives to detention, such as restitution or probation, and if possible work out a resolution that avoids a criminal record.
We have also represented parents seeking court intervention for a child who is running away or out of control, to force the child to comply or face detention in a juvenile facility or treatment facility.
