Wheaton, Illinois Juvenile Crime Defense Lawyer

Underage Drinking, Vandalism and Drug Defense Attorney Serving DuPage County

The Illinois juvenile court system handles cases in which minors are charged with criminal offenses. When minors are facing criminal charges - even for trivial offenses- an experienced attorney who knows the intricacies of juvenile law can provide the necessary advocacy and support. At the Law Offices of Salvatore C. Miglore & Associates, juvenile criminal defense attorney Salvatore C. Miglore is proficient in the juvenile laws and the juvenile court system in Illinois. He provides vigorous juvenile crime defense representation to clients in the Chicago area including Wheaton, Naperville, Glen Ellyn and Elgin.

Protecting the Rights and Future of Youthful Offenders

As an experienced juvenile defense lawyer, Mr. Miglore focuses on protecting the rights and future of minors charged with juvenile crimes. Our law firm represents minors facing charges for a full range of juvenile crimes, such as:

• Shoplifting or retail theft;
• Robbery or burglary;
• Assault and battery;
• Weapons violations;
• Vandalism, property damage;
• Underage drinking;
• Minor in possession of alcohol (MIP);
• Drunk driving and traffic violations;
• Sexual assault;
• Drug possession or other drug crimes; and
• Other juvenile offenses.

Minors are at a very vulnerable stage in their life. A juvenile conviction can cause the individual to continue on a downward path and commit more serious criminal offenses in the future. However, with an experienced lawyer who is dedicated to preserving the minor's interests, he or she may rehabilitate into living a productive life without future interaction with law enforcement or the criminal justice system.

Our firm strives to protect our clients from juvenile convictions. However, when a conviction is inescapable, we seek alternative sentencing options and treatment designed to rehabilitate the youthful offender.
