Minnesota Juvenile Defense Attorney
In Minnesota, the juvenile court system has jurisdiction over criminal offenders under the age of 18. Juvenile cases are not considered “criminal” cases, unlike those tried in adult court. Instead, they are civil proceedings, aimed at rehabilitating, and protecting, minors. While promoting public safety, juvenile courts work to develop a minor’s responsibility for his or her own actions.

Has your child been arrested? If so, you need a competent criminal lawyer to represent his or her interests. Although juvenile court proceedings are geared toward rehabilitation, there are situations where a juvenile may face trial as an adult. Having an experienced Minnesota juvenile crime attorney can make all the difference for your child.
In addition to working to ensure that a minor is not tried as an adult, an attorney can protect his or her interests in juvenile court proceedings to seek the most advantageous outcome.
At the Brown Law Offices, P.A. we represent minors throughout Minnesota, who have been arrested, or are facing juvenile crime charges, including:
- Juvenile Delinquents: Criminal offenses committed by minors.
- CHIPS (Children in Need of Protection or Services): Criminal offenses committed by children under the age of 10.
- Petty Offenders: Criminal conduct that is unlawful only because of the age of the minor (curfew violations, underage drinking, etc.).
- Juvenile Traffic Offenders: Traffic violations committed by minors, including DWI, speeding, racing, etc.
A juvenile defendant may face varied sentencing. If the court determines that a minor has engaged in unlawful conduct, it may implement any of the following: counseling, fines, probation, sex offender treatment, driver’s license suspension, home detention, restitution, community service, placement out of the home or placement in a juvenile correctional facility.
