San Francisco Area Juvenile Law Attorney

For juveniles, I focus on the following areas of criminal law:

Drugs, Underage Drinking, and Vandalism. Whether the crime was committed on a school premises or elsewhere, a juvenile has rights. Many schools have instituted excessive, all-encompassing zero tolerance policies.

Protecting Teen Driver's Licenses. you rely on your teenage child to provide transportation, maintaining their license is a high priority. If they have been charged with DUI or a traffic-related crime that could affect their driving privileges, you need knowledgeable representation.

Crimes at School. Juveniles charged with a crime on school grounds are entitled to the same rights as anyone else, including rights related to search and seizure and due process. Don't let zero tolerance policies ruin their future.

Juvenile Violence. School fights can escalate into aggravated assault or even homicide charges. If a juvenile has gang connections, they could be facing felony charges as well. They are entitled to have their rights protected.
