Juvenile Crime Prevention
Aug 05, 2021, by in Juvenile Law
When minors are arrested and charged with crimes, their entire lives can be permanently affected. Despite being juveniles, there are harsh consequences that come with juvenile crime convictions. If you have concerns that your child is at-risk, running with the wrong crowd, or faces criminal charges, we can help.
Drias Law Group is passionate about our Detroit community. We want to help prevent at-risk youth from making choices that have harmful lifelong consequences.
Here are some resources that could benefit your family if you have a child in your life who is at risk for juvenile crime charges.
