Juvenile Crimes

Aggressive Criminal Defense Against Juvenile Offense Convictions

Salt Lake City / Vernal Juvenile Crimes Attorney

Because they do not have the same rights as an adult accused of a crime, juvenile offenders face unique challenges in the justice system. As such, they are often unknowing victims of rights violations by authorities out to make a point. An experienced juvenile crimes attorney who knows the legal obstacles and the consequences to their young lives can make a huge difference in successfully resolving criminal charges against a minor.

This is not just a court case, these are young lives – and it’s our fight, too.

From an arrest, through settlement or verdict at trial, the juvenile crime lawyers at Rasmussen & Miner fight hard to protect the rights of minors. Email or call our Salt Lake City law office at (801)363-8500 to arrange a free initial consultation regarding charges of:

• Minor in possession of drugs or alcohol
• Underage consumption of alcohol or DUI
• Juvenile delinquency and curfew violations
• Shoplifting, burglary or vandalism
• Assault and battery by juveniles
• Juvenile sexual assaults

Minors facing criminal conviction and worried parents count on us for skilled criminal defense representation. Our collaborative approach means two defense attorneys review each case looking for strengths and weaknesses to produce a defense strategy they believe will produce the best possible outcome.

Preventing Further Damage to Young Lives

From theft to drunk driving, most juvenile crimes are one-time offenses. Experimenting with drugs or exercising bad judgment and behavior due to pressure at home or school result in criminal charges. We work hard to protect their rights and prevent a criminal record from causing more harm in their troubled lives. Minors accused of juvenile crime in Salt Lake County, Tooele County or elsewhere in Utah, need the legal guidance and support that can give them a second chance at a brighter future. We can help.
