Panama City, Florida Juvenile Criminal Defense Lawyers

 

Long gone are the days when the police would put children in the back of a police car and drop them off at their parents’ homes with a stern lecture.  Unfortunately, the end result these days for most kids who get into a little trouble is a criminal charge. Children who have been charged with a crime deserve vigorous advocacy and someone fighting to preserve their rights and their future.  When a child is charged with a crime, it is not only the children who endure stress, anxiety and fear, but parents and family members, as well.

How Can Virga Law Offices, P.A. Protect My Child?

 

First and foremost, the attorneys at Virga Law Offices, P.A., protect the child’s constitutional rights, which means invoking their right to remain silent, thus preventing them from accidentally incriminating themselves during tricky questioning from the police.  At Virga Law Offices, P.A., our lawyers, some of whom are former prosecutors, have long-standing relationships with the Prosecutor making the final charging decision and the law enforcement officers building the case against the child.  In some cases, a Prosecutor may have the option to charge the Juvenile as an adult.  Our lawyers strive to keep the juvenile out of adult court, and in Juvenile Court where the potential harm that the child is exposed to is diminished.  The Panama City criminal defense team at Virga Law Offices, P.A., will evaluate the various defenses that a child may have, investigate the case against him or her, and file any appropriate motions in order to get the charges reduced or dismissed, in hopes of keeping your child’s record as clean as possible.
