Juvenile criminal charges can have a lasting impact on a young person’s education, employment, and future opportunities. The juvenile justice system operates in a different manner than the adult system, often focusing on rehabilitation over punishment. At M.L. Martin & Furnace, LLC, we provide experienced legal representation for minors facing criminal allegations, working to protect their rights and their future.
Juvenile offenses vary in severity, and some cases may be transferred to adult court depending on the nature of the allegations. Pennsylvania law considers factors such as the age of the accused, the type of offense, and any prior history. Common juvenile charges include:
Our attorneys take a compassionate yet strategic approach to defending juvenile clients. We explore alternative sentencing options such as counseling, diversion programs, and community service to help minimize long-term consequences. When necessary, we fight aggressively to keep cases in juvenile court rather than adult court.
