Young people make mistakes — it's part of growing up. Unfortunately, some mistakes can lead to criminal charges. Suddenly a youthful indiscretion becomes a lifetime record that can follow the child into adulthood and disrupt his or her life. If your child is in trouble, it is important to work with an experienced attorney who knows the criminal justice system well.
At the Law Office of Mark. R. Mitchell, we have more than 20 years of experience in criminal defense, including juvenile issues. We know that it is common for children to get in trouble, and that it doesn't mean they are "bad kids." Most often, they are influenced by friends or others involved in bad behavior. It is not a reflection of how the child was raised.
If your child is facing a legal issue, we are ready to help. To arrange a consultation, call 231-577-4950 or toll free 866-906-3736. You can also contact us online.
Experienced Attorney Handling a Variety of Criminal Charges

For serious offenses, the sentence could be detention in a juvenile facility up to the age of 21. Even less serious crimes, however, can have major repercussions on a child's future.
