Buffalo Area Juvenile Crime Lawyer

 

 

Although most juvenile crimes are similar to those for adult offenders, the penalties and laws associated with juvenile crimes are substantially different. Two of the most significant differences are that juveniles are not entitled to a trial by jury and must be represented by an attorney. A juvenile offender is anyone between the ages of ten and seventeen. In most juvenile cases, it is possible to have the child receive an alternative disposition instead of placement in a state facility.

In addition to attempting to dismiss and reduce charges, J. John Sebastian will fight aggressively to keep your child out of state facilities. He will do everything possible to ensure the case is kept in juvenile court and that a 16 or 17 year old isn’t thrown unfairly into adult court. We are on the same team, and we want to see your child at home with you where they belong.
