Juvenile Offenses

Juvenile courts operate differently than adult courts. Penalties generally aim at rehabilitation rather than punishment and cases are decided by judges, not juries. Additionally, records of juvenile crimes or offenses are, in most cases, sealed and do not follow people around the rest of their lives. However a disturbing trend has occurred in the last few years. More and more children charged with serious felonies are having their cases moved out of the juvenile justice system.

Defense attorney Michael E. Ziton works hard to keep juvenile defendants in the juvenile justice system, where the focus is more on rehabilitation than punishment. We fight to prevent juveniles being charged as adults whenever possible. We believe that children deserve the opportunity for a second chance, free from a criminal record that could damage their employment opportunities or ability to live a full, productive and happy life.
