Juvenile Offenders Lawyer in Chicago IL

A juvenile in the state of Illinois is any individual who is under the age of 17, a crime committed by an individual under the age of 17 is considered to be a juvenile crime. There are separate courts that are used to try juvenile crimes as these individuals are tried differently than adults.

It is believed that minors do not have the capability for criminal intent in most cases and are therefore subject to decreased severity of penalties for conviction of these crimes.

Young people can become involved in activities or bad company that leads to being accused of a serious crime; they do not have the years of life and experience to bring good judgment. If your son or daughter has been arrested and charged with a crime, Vadim Glozman is here to help you and to defend them aggressively against the charges brought against them.

We believe that young people should be treated with the utmost concern and fairness and will take every defense action possible to ameliorate the damage to young people accused of criminal acts.

The court system tends to treat young people differently, even when convicted. That is only when they remain in the juvenile court system, however. In some serious crimes, the prosecutor will try to get the case moved to adult criminal court, which is extremely dangerous. As the juvenile system is focused upon rehabilitating the young person, the adult system has heavy punishments and a high rate of recidivism.

This is where the young person will meet the most hardened criminals and certainly their lives will take a drastic turn, and likely destroy their future prospects and hopes. We will immediately challenge any action that is geared to move the case to adult court as our first order of business.
