When a juvenile is charged with robbery, it is scary for the individual charged and his or her parents. How will the charges affect the child's future? Will there be a lasting criminal record?
As you look for answers to these questions, it is important to understand your legal rights and to seek the help of an experienced juvenile defense lawyer.
At Groshek Law in Minneapolis, Minnesota, defense attorney Christa Groshek is experienced in both the adult and juvenile justice systems. She understands the unique needs of minors and how to protect their rights in juvenile court, including defending against attempts by prosecutors to seek extended juvenile jurisdiction (EJJ) or adult certification.
