What Criminal Charges Is Your Child Facing?

We work diligently with Michigan juvenile justice officials and families, aiming to secure positive rulings in a broad spectrum of matters involving juvenile delinquency. Our defense services cover:

Underage Drinking, Minor In Possession (MIP) And Underage DUI

Common yet serious accusations include Minor in Possession (MIP) and underage DUI. Michigan’s “Zero Tolerance” law means even a low BAC can lead to significant penalties and gravely impact college and career prospects. This is why our attorneys meticulously examine evidence, challenge results and advocate for reduced charges or alternative sentencing.

Juvenile Drug Offenses

This category encompasses possession and distribution of marijuana, cocaine, prescription drugs and other illegal substances. Even small amounts can lead to serious consequences, impacting driving privileges and future opportunities. Thus, we thoroughly investigate circumstances, challenge search and seizure procedures, and explore all avenues, from seeking dismissal to advocating for diversion programs.

Juvenile Sex Crimes

Accusations like sexual assault, statutory rape or criminal sexual conduct (CSC) are exceptionally grave and demand an immediate, aggressive defense. Therefore, we handle these sensitive cases with the utmost discretion and legal insight, protecting your child’s rights and building a strong defense to protect their reputation and future.

Shoplifting, Retail Fraud And Other Larceny Charges

Property crimes such as shoplifting, also known as retail fraud, and other forms of larceny often stem from impulsive decisions. These offenses can carry surprisingly harsh penalties for minors and result in a permanent record. For that reason, we work toward outcomes like restitution programs, counseling or community service that aim to correct behavior without imposing severe, lasting consequences.

Vandalism And Property Damage

Charges ranging from graffiti to property destruction can lead to significant fines and court-ordered restitution. That being said, we aim to mitigate the damage caused by these charges, presenting the minor’s perspective and seeking solutions that focus on repair, community service or anger management, rather than strict punitive measures.

Gang-Related Crimes

Involvement in alleged gang activities can lead to enhanced penalties for otherwise common offenses. These cases are often complex and require a nuanced understanding of law enforcement’s approach. Thus, we provide dedicated representation to manage these complexities, ensuring your child’s rights are protected and they are not unfairly targeted.

Our Proactive Approach To Protecting Your Child’s Future

At the Law Offices of Barry A. Resnick, PLLC, we represent the vital interests of minors and their families throughout all juvenile court proceedings. Our primary objective is to secure legal solutions that won’t negatively impact your child’s college choice, future job options or ability to serve in the military. We understand that a mistake made in youth should not define an entire future. This is why we advocate for rehabilitation, education and diversion programs whenever possible, ensuring your child receives a second chance.
