Scottsdale Juvenile Defense Attorney
Has Your Child Been Arrested and Charged
with a Crime?
When one’s child has been arrested and charged with a crime, you are no doubt extremely concerned about their future. Will they spend time in jail or prison? Is their future completely ruined if convicted? These are all real concerns, and any parent who is interested in their child’s future is probably seeking a high quality Scottsdale criminal defense lawyer.
If you are looking for a criminal defense lawyer who is familiar with juvenile crimes and the juvenile court, it is highly recommended that you contact the Law Offices of Randall J. Craig. Attorney Craig has been successfully defending countless juveniles charged with crimes and misdemeanors for years, and is well-known and respected in both juvenile and adult criminal court.
Juvenile Crime Defense Lawyer in Scottsdale
It is critical in any felony charges that the case is not moved to adult court. The prosecution often tries to have the case moved, based on the seriousness of the crime. This is the first action that may be necessary to fight in a serious juvenile crime charge. The juvenile court system is set up to rehabilitate young offenders, and has many more options than adult court which tends to be interested in punishment.
If the charge is less serious, such as a DUI charge, it is still crucial for your child’s future, as such things as college applications can become an issue. Arizona has the “zero tolerance” policy in underage DUI charges, and even a .01% blood alcohol level will result in an underage DUI charge; a conviction can restrict your child from driving for a long period of time.
With serious crime charges, a juvenile defendant needs an attorney that has the best interests of the young person as the top priority. Many young people have completely learned their lesson just by being arrested and charged. An extended stay in the juvenile detention center is not likely to improve the opportunities in your child’s future.
The legal team at the Law Offices of Randall J. Craig will fight aggressively on behalf of your child, and will make every legal effort to have the charges dismissed or reduced. Should the case go to trial, there is no jury in a juvenile case and it will be decided by a judge. The quality of the defense lawyer fighting on behalf of the young person is critical to the outcome of the case -- don’t take chances with your child’s future.

I paid him $5,000 to do quick trial after firing my old lawyer. It only took him 3 days to get ready.

Good guy, good lawyer.- Former Client

This man has a "Heart of Gold" he was very honest and kind. He did everything he told me he would, the only BAD thing I can say is his investigator Judd Slivka is the worst, did not do his job right and did not call me as promised by Randy. If Randy was to get a "real" investigator he would really do much better. Randy is the best I have ever seen yet! As for phone calls he was there for me 8 out of 10 times, he was at all of our appointments, he is very professional and I would recommend him to anyone! Randy can get anything done that he puts his heart to! He has a nice smile, honest and is very supportive, a rare find in a lawyer! I wish the best to you Randy & hope to see you have a huge law firm in the future, you deserve it!- Former Client
