Our juvenile law practice is geared towards preventing young people from becoming entangled in the court system. Towards that end, our office cooperates with juvenile case officers, judges, and law enforcement in developing alternatives to juvenile detention, heavy fines, or being charged as an adult. When drugs and alcohol are involved, we help teens find counseling programs that can help them address their use of alcohol and drugs.
In cases where psychological or medical issues may be a factor in contributing to a teen’s criminal behavior, our lawyers work closely with families in identifying appropriate specialists needed to diagnose and treat conditions that may have gone unnoticed.
At Fiumara & Milligan Law, PC we’re committed to helping young people get a second chance and avoid further problems with the law. If your teenage son or daughter has been arrested for committing a crime, contact our law firm today and schedule a consultation to learn what to do if your child has been arrested and how we can help you.

Reducing Charges, Avoiding Serious Legal Consequences
In general, most courts and prosecutors are more inclined to reduce the charges or sentence against a juvenile offender when he, or she, has demonstrated a clear desire to get help. Enrollment in a drug / alcohol counseling program, staying in school, getting a GED, or holding down a job can persuade the court that your son, or daughter, is prepared to act responsibly.
Our attorneys advise clients in regard to steps they can take prior to trial or a sentencing hearing that indicate they are willing to address underlying drug, alcohol, medical, and psychological problems. In some cases, we may be able to convince the court it is unnecessary to go to trial or proceed further. Intervening now and taking steps to ensure your son or daughter receives the help they need can mean the difference between staying out of trouble and being tried as an adult for a serious crime later.
