Juvenile Law
Many juveniles believe that the crimes they commit before adulthood will not have a serious effect on their lives in the future. Unfortunately, this is not true. A juvenile conviction can have severe ramifications on your future endeavors—finding certain jobs, entering college, securing scholarships, etc. If your son or daughter is facing criminal charges in a Nashville, Tennessee juvenile court, consult the experienced criminal defense attorneys at Ridings Law Group, P.C. to discuss the circumstances of the case.
Under juvenile law, there are two classifications of offenses for criminal actions depending on the specific circumstances. These levels are unruly offenses and delinquent offenses.
Unruly Offenses
In the juvenile court, a crime committed by a child that would not be considered so as an adult is counted as an unruly offense. These include such crimes as breaking curfew, skipping school, and possessing alcohol.
Delinquent Offenses
If a juvenile commits a crime that would also be considered a crime if committed by an adult, the child may be charged with a delinquent offense. Delinquent offenses include felonies and misdemeanors and have much more serious penalties than unruly offenses.
If your son or daughter has been arrested for an unruly or delinquent offense, it is wise to consult an experienced, skilled criminal defense attorney such as those at Ridings Law Group, P.C.
