Criminal convictions can prevent juveniles from holding some jobs and from being admitted to some colleges and trade schools. The lawyers at Casha and Casha, LLC believe that a juvenile’s error in judgment should not affect their life forever. The juvenile justice system in New Jersey works differently than the adult criminal justice system. Under most circumstances in juvenile cases, the focus is on rehabilitation rather than punishment. At Casha and Casha, we have more than thirty years of experience working with juveniles and their families to find constructive resolutions to criminal matters.

We recognize that teens often get into situations that they never intended. They also often fail to appreciate the long-term consequences of their actions. We are committed to representing juveniles charged with a wide range of offenses. In recent years, more and more juvenile matters are being transferred to adult courts. We work diligently to ensure that criminal offenses committed by a juvenile remain in juvenile court. In many cases, we are able to have the charges reduced or dismissed. Our primary objective is to minimize the consequences of juvenile offenses in an effort to protect the offender’s future interests.

There are those occasions where a juvenile’s repeated actions are really a symptom of a deeper problem. Because of the experience of our attorneys, we have the resources to assist in getting the juvenile help so that these types of acts become a thing of the past. Whether it is emotional problems, drug addiction or a physical chemical imbalance that is the underlying cause of the behavior, there is help out there and we can help you get it, regardless of your financial status.

A juvenile conviction may adversely affect your child’s legal rights, economic opportunities and social situation for the rest of their life. The lawyers at Casha and Casha, LLC know that a youthful indiscretion shouldn’t follow them forever if it can be helped. Many people discover the problems a criminal or juvenile record creates when they are applying for a job, license, or entrance to college or trade school.
