Juvenile Crime

Rehabilitation rather than punishment is the goal for the juvenile court system.  But there are still serious penalties for the conviction of a crime by a minor in Las Vegas.

To ensure your child’s rights are fully protected, contact the law firm of Douglas H. Clark. Each client is treated as an individual and not a case number. We have experience with the juvenile courts and will work to avoid incarceration or a criminal record. 

Some of the typical charges for juvenile crime include:

• Underage DUI
• Truancy/ Delinquency
• Shoplifting and Burglary
• Drug Crime
• Minor in possession of alcohol
• Assault and Battery
• Serious Felony charges

Minors make mistakes and we feel there should not be an excessive punishment.  Many of our clients are first time offenders.  Douglas Clark will negotiate or challenge the evidence with the State Prosecutor to dismiss or reduce the charges. For those minor charged with serious crimes, we work to keep them in the juvenile system and fight attempts to prosecute them as adults.

We put our emphasis on preventing a re-offense.  We work to obtain counseling, substance abuse treatment, or alternative sentencing for our clients.

A juvenile criminal conviction can affect the minor for the rest of their life.  They may be denied admission to college and access to student loans, as well as impacting their ability to gain employment.
