Comprehensive Juvenile Crime Defense Services

Juvenile crime cases generally include the same types of crimes that would be brought against an adult, with some additional crimes that are based on the child’s age. Our team of attorneys handles all types of juvenile crime cases, including:

Truancy
Underage drinking
Murder, assault, and other violent crimes
Theft crimes
Internet crimes
Sex crimes

A single conviction for a serious crime could be a black mark on your child’s future. The stakes are too high to risk with an inexperienced lawyer. Work with our legal team. We have the experience, knowledge, and aggressive approach needed to defend your child successfully.

Understanding Truancy and Its Implications

Although truancy is not generally considered a serious crime, there is a high likelihood that instances of juvenile truancy will increase in the aftermath of the COVID-19 quarantine, and it is likely that the authorities will take an aggressive approach to crack down on instances of truancy. Our lawyers will take an equally aggressive approach to defend your child against these charges.

Consequences of Juvenile Crimes in Rhode Island

Juvenile offenses can have serious consequences, impacting not only your child's present but also their future. Some potential penalties for juvenile crimes in Rhode Island:

Juvenile Detention: A court may order a juvenile to a detention facility for a specified period, depending on the severity of the offense.
Probation: Juvenile offenders could be placed on probation, requiring adherence to specific conditions set by the court, such as counseling or community service.
Fines: Monetary penalties could be imposed on the juvenile or their family due to the offense committed.
Counseling and Rehabilitation Programs: Courts may mandate participation in counseling or rehabilitation programs tailored to address the underlying issues contributing to the juvenile's behavior.
Loss of Privileges: Juveniles may face restrictions on certain privileges, such as driving privileges or extracurricular activities.
Record Consequences: Juvenile adjudication can impact their record, affecting educational and employment opportunities in the future.

Effective Defenses Against Juvenile Crime Charges

Some common defenses against juvenile crimes may include:

Lack of Evidence: We can scrutinize the evidence against your child, challenging its admissibility and reliability. If there is insufficient or unreliable evidence, we work diligently to have charges reduced or dismissed.
Constitutional Violations: We can meticulously examine the circumstances of the arrest and investigation to identify any constitutional violations. If law enforcement overstepped their bounds or violated your child's rights, we use this to build a powerful defense.
Age and Mental State: Juveniles are not held to the same legal standards as adults. We leverage age and mental state considerations to argue that your child may not fully comprehend the consequences of their actions, aiming for a more lenient resolution.
Alternative Resolutions: We can explore alternative resolutions, such as diversion programs or community service, to provide your child with an opportunity for rehabilitation without the long-lasting consequences of formal adjudication.

"Their legal knowledge helped me"
Attorney Reynolds, Rose, and the entire team at Assalone Lombardi, LLC treated my case with care, compassion, and understanding. Their legal knowledge helped me get the best outcome possible and the firm was always there for me no matter what I needed.

"Highly recommend!"
I had the pleasure of working with Attorney Jenn Reynolds at Assalone Lombardi, and I can't thank her enough for her support during such a challenging time. Jenn was compassionate, professional, and always had my best interests at heart. Her guidance and expertise made the process much easier. Highly recommend!

"Veronica and her team are the best!"
Veronica and her team are the best! I had a long, drawn out, awful divorce and they were there every step of the way to answer any questions and reassure me. Ultimately, it ended in my favor because of their expertise and knowledge of the law. I can’t thank them enough for all of their hard work and sleepless nights preparing.

- Shannon C.
"Veronica and her team will get it done"
Veronica, Victoria and Jessica helped tremendously during one of the worst times of my life. They made me feel supported and heard and went the distance for me through all points of my divorce. If you need someone who is caring outside of the court room but a bulldog when inside those walls, go no further than her office. When Veronica was away, I was able to work with Victoria, who was absolutely amazing. Finally, Jessica helped with my final judgement and was able to ease my mind when needed. Though multiple hands were at play, you wouldn’t have known it. Divorce is never what anyone wants, but if you need to fight for things you believe it, Veronica and her team will get it done.
