Juvenile Crimes
When a person under the age of 18 is convicted of a criminal offense, the rest of their life may be significantly affected and things may never be the same in their life. If your child has been charged with a criminal offense or is under investigation for a crime in Atlanta, it is important for you to take immediate action to protect their future. If a juvenile is convicted of a crime, they can miss out on future opportunities and may not be given the same chance at life that other children are given. Criminal defense attorney Kenneth Muhammad will work hard on your child’s behalf to protect their rights and look out for their best interests.
Juveniles can be charged with the same types of crimes that adults can, including the following offenses:
- Alcohol Related Crimes (underage drinking, DUI, minor in possession, attempt to purchase alcohol, using a fake ID, intoxicated in public, etc.)
- Arson
- Assault
- Battery
- Curfew Violations
- Drug Possession
- Gang Activity
- Homicide, Murder & Manslaughter
- Shoplifting
- Truancy
- Trespassing
- Traffic Offenses
- Vandalism/Destruction of Property
- Theft Crimes
- Statutory Rape & Molestation
- Probation Violations
- Weapons Violations

Atlanta criminal defense lawyer Kenneth Muhammad is dedicated to defending minors facing criminal charges in Atlanta and in the surrounding counties of Fulton, Dekalb, Cobb, Clayton, & Gwinnett. At our Atlanta firm, we believe than juveniles deserve a second chance in life and because of their young age they should be given the opportunity to learn from their mistakes. Alternative sentences may be given to juveniles in an effort to rehabilitate them rather than just punishing them. If juveniles can learn from their mistakes there is a good chance that they will go on to live normal, productive lives that are free from criminal activity, which is the ultimate goal of the juvenile system.
