Juvenile Offenses
Guiding Juveniles Through the Justice System
If your child is charged with a crime, the stakes are incredibly high. A juvenile criminal record can affect educational opportunities, future employment, and college admissions. At Elbaz & Elbaz Law, we specialize in representing minors throughout Gwinnett County, striving to resolve cases through rehabilitation rather than punishment whenever possible.
Common Juvenile Charges
• Underage Drinking & DUIs: Even a first offense can lead to license suspension and an impact on scholarships or extracurricular eligibility.
​
• Shoplifting & Theft: Schools and local businesses take theft charges seriously, often involving law enforcement quickly.
​
• Drug Possession & Vandalism: Experimental behavior can quickly turn into a life-altering legal situation.
A Focus on the Future
• Alternatives to Detention: We work to secure community service, counseling, or diversion programs that can help keep your child’s record clean.
​
• Protecting Their Rights: We ensure minors are treated fairly, from interrogations by police to any court proceedings.
​
• Family-Centered Approach: We keep families involved at each step, ensuring you fully understand the process and potential outcomes.
