Cincinnati Juvenile Crimes Lawyer

Cincinnati Juvenile Crime Attorney

Fight for Your Future with Patituce & Associates

As parents ourselves, our juvenile criminal defense team understands the tense emotions and distress of learning that your child is facing criminal charges. Although you may take solace in the fact that they are children and face different standards in court, it is still absolutely imperative that you hire a lawyer to defend your child’s rights and fight for his or her future.

In many cases, prosecutors in juvenile cases are new and relatively inexperienced in the criminal justice system. This means that you need to fight aggressively for your child’s freedom and your child’s future.

At Patituce & Associates, our criminal defense team takes every case seriously, especially those in which our clients are juveniles. With more than three decades of experience, we have the resources and knowledge to effectively handle a wide variety of cases. Additionally, several members of our team served as former prosecutors, giving us an edge in crafting a strong defense for your child’s case.

Facts about the Juvenile Justice System

The juvenile justice system is very different that the adult justice system. Rights that you think your child has may not exist in this system at all. Take a look at the differences in the juvenile justice system:

  • Juveniles do not have a right to trial by jury
  • Juveniles do not have a right to bond or bail
  • Juveniles face different crime sentences

If, for example, a juvenile is convicted of a felony, he or she could stay in prison for 6 months or up until they turn 21. In many cases, a juvenile could receive lengthier jail time than an adult would in the same situation. This underscores the need for an attorney.

    Cate Purdum was present, attentive, always returned my calls (I had attorneys before who never call you back), answered my questions and never ignored my calls. If I ever need an attorney in the future I will definitely go back to her.

    Catherine Meehan did an amazing job. Very responsive, friendly, and obviously very good with words. She kept me out of jail and home with my kiddo. For that I can't ever repay the favor.
