Comprehensive Juvenile Crime Defense Services

Juvenile crime cases generally include the same types of crimes that would be brought against an adult, with some additional crimes that are based on the child’s age. Our team of attorneys handles all types of juvenile crime cases, including:

Truancy
Underage drinking
Murder, assault, and other violent crimes
Theft crimes
Internet crimes
Sex crimes

A single conviction for a serious crime could be a black mark on your child’s future. The stakes are too high to risk with an inexperienced lawyer. Work with our legal team. We have the experience, knowledge, and aggressive approach needed to defend your child successfully.

Understanding Truancy and Its Implications

Although truancy is not generally considered a serious crime, there is a high likelihood that instances of juvenile truancy will increase in the aftermath of the COVID-19 quarantine, and it is likely that the authorities will take an aggressive approach to crack down on instances of truancy. Our lawyers will take an equally aggressive approach to defend your child against these charges.

Consequences of Juvenile Crimes in Rhode Island

Juvenile offenses can have serious consequences, impacting not only your child's present but also their future. Some potential penalties for juvenile crimes in Rhode Island:

Juvenile Detention: A court may order a juvenile to a detention facility for a specified period, depending on the severity of the offense.
Probation: Juvenile offenders could be placed on probation, requiring adherence to specific conditions set by the court, such as counseling or community service.
Fines: Monetary penalties could be imposed on the juvenile or their family due to the offense committed.
Counseling and Rehabilitation Programs: Courts may mandate participation in counseling or rehabilitation programs tailored to address the underlying issues contributing to the juvenile's behavior.
Loss of Privileges: Juveniles may face restrictions on certain privileges, such as driving privileges or extracurricular activities.
Record Consequences: Juvenile adjudication can impact their record, affecting educational and employment opportunities in the future.

Effective Defenses Against Juvenile Crime Charges

Some common defenses against juvenile crimes may include:

Lack of Evidence: We can scrutinize the evidence against your child, challenging its admissibility and reliability. If there is insufficient or unreliable evidence, we work diligently to have charges reduced or dismissed.
Constitutional Violations: We can meticulously examine the circumstances of the arrest and investigation to identify any constitutional violations. If law enforcement overstepped their bounds or violated your child's rights, we use this to build a powerful defense.
Age and Mental State: Juveniles are not held to the same legal standards as adults. We leverage age and mental state considerations to argue that your child may not fully comprehend the consequences of their actions, aiming for a more lenient resolution.
Alternative Resolutions: We can explore alternative resolutions, such as diversion programs or community service, to provide your child with an opportunity for rehabilitation without the long-lasting consequences of formal adjudication.

"I was new to Rhode Island and had no idea what to do"
I found myself in the horrible circumstance of an unexpected/unplanned divorce amidst the worst time of my life. I was new to Rhode Island and had no idea what to do, or who to call, who was good, or who wasn't. All I knew was that I needed to find someone to help me navigate the worst days of my life, trusting them with my most private moments and fragile existence. A co-worker had recommended Assalone Lombardi, LLC, so I, nervously, placed the call. From the very first communication with the admin staff, onward, it was the most wonderful, professional, kind, empathetic, safe space giving, helpful experience I could have ever hoped for. The entire staff was fantastic. I never once felt judged or alone, instead I felt cared for, represented, supported, and confident that I had the best team I could possibly ask for. I was lucky enough to be given to the care of Attorney and Managing Partner, Victoria Lombardi. I am forever blown away. Ms. Lombardi is fierce, charismatic, brilliant, kind, strong, understanding, and will fight the fight of her life for you, as if she were your own sister, but with a level of unparalleled professionalism and grace. Should I ever find myself in another unfortunate life situation or circumstance that requires an attorney, she will always and forever be my obvious choice. I trust her implicitly with my most sacred life issues and I would never go anywhere else. If you are in need of an attorney, do yourself a favor... call Assalone Lombardi, LLC, and if you are so lucky as to get Victoria Lombardi, it will have been the best decision you have ever made, I guarantee it. She is phenomenal. I am so grateful to the entire team and thank them all for the way in which they cared for me in my darkest moments. Grateful.
