Are you looking for effective defense for a juvenile crime?

In many juvenile crime matters, particularly when the charge is a first-time offense, Mr. Cosley can negotiate a plea agreement prior to trial. In this plea agreement, some or all of the charges against your child can be dropped or significantly reduced. If plea negotiations fail or if the minor is a repeat offender, the case could go to trial. As an experienced litigator, Mr. Cosley can ensure your child’s legal rights are upheld. This includes ensuring all evidence against him or her is relevant and has been obtained legally. Our firm defends juveniles charged with virtually every type of juvenile offense, including the following:

• Assault and Battery
• Burglary/residential burglary
• Robbery/armed robbery
• Driving without a valid driver’s license
• Drug charges
• DUI/drunk driving – There is a zero tolerance policy for drivers under the age of 21, resulting in driver’s license suspension.
• Rape
• Sex offenses – including consensual sex between minors
• School violence/weapons offenses (including guns, knives, etc.)
• Theft/retail theft/shoplifting
• Underage drinking/unlawful consumption/possession of alcohol by a minor
