Juvenile Misdemeanor and Felony Offenses Lawyer

The opportunity to help juveniles who have made mistakes that resulted in criminal charges is a rewarding aspect of our practice at The Federal Law Group in Atlanta, Georgia. We diligently represent those clients to ensure that one mistake will not follow them for the rest of their lives.

The most common examples of juvenile misdemeanor and felony offenses include shoplifting, underaged drinking, drug possession and truancy. Any juvenile who appears before a court in the State of Georgia is usually eligible for pretrial diversion. This is an opportunity and a second chance to right a wrong that has been committed. Pretrial diversion programs include community service, a psychological evaluation, and counseling.

The benefits of pretrial diversion are numerous. Drug problems and addictions can be addressed, and community activities can help keep a bored child occupied with a more rewarding endeavor. In the end, the greatest benefit of pretrial diversion is the opportunity to wipe the slate clean of the juvenile charge/s and have the arrest expunged following successful completion of the program.

At The Federal Law Group, we are passionate about representing juveniles involved in crimes. Mistakes can be made because of peer pressure without thinking of potential consequences, or drug experimentation and/or addiction may have influenced reasoning and resulted in a bad choice. Parents can rest assured that a firm attorney will aggressively represent their child to ensure their rights are protected, and that we will diligently seek for them to have an opportunity for a second chance through expungement when available.
