In Georgia, every person aged 17 or older is tried and punished as an adult. In some cases, even a child as young as 14 may be tried and punished as an adult. If your child is in trouble, he or she needs immediate legal help from a highly experienced and knowledgeable attorney who can provide a strong and effective defense.
At Raymond Giudice, P.C., we routinely represent children, teens and young adults who are in trouble with the law. Our firm aggressively handles the criminal law issues that affect today’s young people. Our attorneys have what it takes to achieve the best possible outcomes in these complicated matters.
Georgia’s juvenile justice system’s penalties for youthful crime convictions are harsh; and can cause major problems throughout a child’s entire life. Youthful offenders with criminal records face staggering consequences that may follow them for a lifetime:
- Suspension of driver’s license
- Loss of valuable H.O.P.E. scholarship funds and financial aid
- Withdrawn acceptance at colleges or universities
- Internships and job rejections
- Post-graduate professional licensing consequences
- Mandatory substance abuse program
- DUI School
- Steep fines and court costs
- Jail time or probation
- Permanent criminal record
