Juvenile Crime Law

When a child is charged with a crime, it can affect the entire family.  This is especially true in cases where a minor has been charged with a serious criminal offence, such as a sex crime, assault, or even murder. Whether your child has committed a crime or simply made a mistake, the guidance of a juvenile defence lawyer can help you get through this difficult time. Juvenile crime law varies from region to region, but a lawyer can help you understand your child’s legal options and answer your questions regarding your child’s case. 

Helping Young Offenders

At Bacchus & Associates Law Firm, we assist juvenile clients and their families when minors get in trouble with the law. We know that it takes a combination of compassion and knowledge of the law to see your child through the juvenile court system and work to achieve the best possible outcome, and at Bacchus & Associates Law Firm, we take a very specific approach to our juvenile clients.

Remember: A criminal charge against your child doesn’t have to negatively affect the rest of his or her life. If your child is in trouble, call Bacchus & Associates Law Firm today.

Sex Crime Law

It's no secret that sex crimes are considered particularly heinous offences by the general public. For this reason, if you’re accused of a sex crime, you may find that society considers you guilty until proven innocent. Due to this stigma and the consequences your charges can have on your day-to-day life, it’s important that you obtain representation from a lawyer.
