Juvenile Delinquency Charges  

Representing Juveniles Accused of Crimes in the Tampa Bay Area

The juvenile justice system operates on the premise that youths are fundamentally different from adults with regard to their level of responsibility for their actions and potential for rehabilitation.  Although juveniles can be accused of many of the same crimes as adults, treatment and successful reintegration of youths are the primary goals of the juvenile justice system.  Therefore, juvenile law has a great deal of flexibility built into it.  We can guide you and your child through the legal process and support you each step of the way.

Time Is of the Essence

When you or members of your family are being accused of committing a crime, TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE.

Just because you have been arrested DOES NOT necessarily mean that you have been charged with a crime.  Nor does it mean that formal charges have to be filed against you

To prevent charges from being filed, or to reduce the severity of any charges that are filed, it is CRITICAL that you have an attorney contact the prosecutor immediately after your arrest.

DO NOT WAIT until after you receive a notice to appear in court to contact us.  The outcome of your case may depend on how QUICKLY YOU ACT.

Appeals

In Florida, an appeal is a complex and time-consuming matter, but it may be your LAST CHANCE for getting the outcome you want.

Unlike many other law firms, at Barnett Wolfe Rice, P.A. we have the experience, ability and desire to handle criminal and family (domestic relations) appeals.

If you think you need to appeal your case, CONTACT US immediately.  There are STRICT DEADLINES for filing an appeal, so you must act quickly.
