Phoenix-Based Attorney for Matters Involving Juvenile Crime
Mistakes in judgment happen. So do false accusations, cases of mistaken identity or "just being in the wrong place at the wrong time." While the best way to avoid being charged with a juvenile crime is to avoid situations where a juvenile crime may occur, this is not always possible. If you or someone you care about has been charged with a juvenile offense, make sure you are working with an experienced lawyer who understands the juvenile justice system.
At The Law Office of Cary L. Lackey, P.C., in Phoenix, I use more than 15 years of experience to help clients facing charges in the Maricopa County Juvenile Court and the Pinal County Juvenile Court achieve the best possible results.
I represent juveniles charged with a wide range of juvenile crimes, including:
- Underage drinking and driving
- Possession of alcohol
- Graffiti and vandalism
- Destruction of property
- Shoplifting
- Petty theft
- Marijuana possession
Underage Drinking and Driving
Arizona is a zero tolerance state for underage drinking and driving. This means that if you are under 21, operating a car with any liquor in your system can lead to the loss of your driver's license for two years or until you reach the age of 21. In many ways, this can be more serious than the consequences for adults charged with DUI.
I also handle vehicular assault and homicide cases for juveniles who are accused of drinking and driving, and were involved in a car accident. These cases are especially serious for juveniles, as the consequences can render you incarcerated for an extended period of time and result in a permanent criminal record.
