Avoiding the Penalties of a Conviction in Missouri
At Cole & Martin Attorneys at Law, LLC, we know what it takes to keep a juvenile out of jail. With more than 40+ years of combined experience, including time spent as prosecutors, you can count on us to defend your child's rights. Our experience has allowed us to develop a comprehensive understanding of the processes involved in juvenile law, which we use to provide honest and sound legal guidance.
We represent juveniles against a wide range of crimes, such as:
- Drug crimes
- Theft crimes
- Violent crimes
- Underage drinking
- Disturbing the peace
In the state of Missouri, many crimes can be tried in adult court if the juvenile is old enough and if the offense is serious enough. If your child goes to trial as an adult, they could be facing the consequences that an adult would face if convicted. In these cases, it is especially important to have qualified and experienced counsel in your corner. Hiring a Springfield juvenile crime attorney ensures that your child is protected against the prosecution and has quality legal representation on their side.
