Examples of Massachusetts juvenile charges

Attorneys at Dolan Connly, PC, help children and their families face charges such as:

• Underage drinking
• Possession of alcohol
• Drug possession
• Assault
• Truancy
• Larceny / theft crimes
• Trespassing
• Shoplifting
• Probation violation
• Vandalism / graffiti

Our law firm places a special emphasis on defending against underage drinking charges, called Minors in Possession of Alcohol (MIP). As law enforcement officials crack down on underage drinking, more and more young adults are facing these criminal charges. These charges have the possibility of harming job opportunities, college admissions and other future opportunities. We have significant experience representing young adults who do not want the blemish of a criminal charge on their record.

Helping families facing school disciplinary hearings

Many children who face these types of charges are also facing school discipline hearings. Because of the experience of our attorneys with school law issues, including bullying, we can support families as they pass through the juvenile law system and the school discipline process. You do not need two attorneys to handle matters in two different systems.

Recommending alternative dispositions in juvenile law cases

We often propose alternatives to traditional adjudication in juvenile cases. We are knowledgeable about alternative programs such as drug rehabilitation, counseling, and entry into treatment facilities. Our experience often allows us to arrange alternatives that avoid criminal records for juveniles.

If your child has been charged with a juvenile offense, contact our Massachusetts law firm, Dolan Connly, PC. We understand that you want the best for your children. We go the extra mile to provide it for them.
