Not only are the immediate prospects frightening when a juvenile has been arrested for a criminal matter such as the below, but the answer to the question "Have you been convicted of a crime?" can affect an entire future. The stigma of a criminal conviction can follow the juvenile, whether applying for jobs, education, or a place to live.

• Juvenile drug crimes
• Underage drinking
  
• Juvenile sex crimes
• Possession of a Fake ID
  

Although juvenile crimes may be similar in nature to adult cases, they are heard at Juvenile Court through a system completely different than that of adult court - one with its own rules and procedures - and penalties and punishments differ. At Altman & Altman LLP, our experienced, aggressive Boston juvenile criminal defense lawyers make every effort to keep juvenile cases in juvenile court to avoid the possibility of your juvenile being charged as an adult.
