We Advocate for Juveniles Charged with These Crimes

The Clermont Police Department takes juvenile offenses seriously and works hard to prevent these crimes. In its 2020 Annual Report, the police department outlines many of the measures it implements to deter youth offenses.

Our team advocates for juvenile defendants facing these charges:

  • Theft
  • Assault
  • Disorderly conduct
  • Alcohol possession
  • Underage drinking
  • Vandalism
  • Possession of marijuana
  • Trespassing

We also advocate for defendants facing serious criminal charges, such as attempted murder. These cases require the utmost tact; based on the crime’s severity, the case could move to adult court. This can mean your child could face harsh penalties and lengthy periods of incarceration. It can also mean they will eventually be housed with adult offenders, threatening their safety while serving time.

We Fight Hard to Keep Your Child’s Case in Juvenile Court

When a young person is arrested in Clermont, their case generally goes through the juvenile justice system. Less harsh than the adult justice system, the juvenile justice system’s focus is to rehabilitate young offenders and provide opportunities to start over with a brighter future.

Our team fights hard to keep your child’s case in the juvenile system by:

  • Documenting your child’s age
  • Proving their best interests are served within the juvenile system
  • Proving their alleged criminal offense fits the parameters of the juvenile system
  • Demonstrating their lack of a criminal record (if applicable)
  • Using character witnesses’ testimony

We also work with the state to negotiate plea deals that can lead to reduced charges and lighter sentences.

What You Need to Know About the Juvenile Justice Process in Florida

Detaining a juvenile in the state of Florida is detailed and complex. According to Florida Department of Juvenile Justice guidelines, many phases of the juvenile system depend on the outcomes and decisions made in previous phases.

The process typically includes:

  • Contact with law enforcement — This will result in either a civil citation or your child being taken into custody.
  • Detention Risk Assessment Instrument (DRAI) — This step will determine the appropriate placement for your son or daughter after their arrest. They may await trial at home or be assigned to a detention center.
  • Between custody and DRAI assessment, your child may:
    • Be admitted to a diversion program
    • Have their case sent to adult court
    • Participate in the Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative (JDAI) program

Many additional steps can follow these actions. Your child may have the opportunity to benefit from the Youth Empowered Success (YES) Plan. This is the tool administrators and officials use to organize and manage juvenile cases in Clermont.

Our juvenile crime team will explain when your child’s case might be dropped, adjudicated, or have adjudication withheld. We will also explain which juvenile detention centers may play a role in your child’s case, as well as the rights and responsibilities your child could have while in the facility.
