The Umansky Law Firm > Orlando Juvenile Defense Attorney

Orlando Juvenile Defense Attorney

As parents ourselves, we understand the anxiety involved when a child experiences trouble with the law. The consequences of a juvenile record, or possible incarceration, could jeopardize your child’s educational opportunities and future career options.

Our juvenile defense attorneys are fierce advocates for juveniles charged with crimes. We have extensive experience with the juvenile justice system and know how to defend your child’s rights. Some of the juvenile offenses that we defend include:

Experienced Juvenile Defense Representation

Our experience as former prosecutors gives us insight into how the prosecuting attorney will prepare their cases which helps our defense lawyers better represent your son or daughter. Founding partner, William Umansky, is also actively involved in the juvenile court system and currently serves as a judge in the Orange County Teen Court program. An avid believer in the juvenile system, Bill is also on the board of directors for Teen Alternatives, Inc., which raises funds for children involved in the teen court program.

Penalties For Juvenile Crimes in Florida

The punishment for a juvenile charge will often depend on the severity of crime committed, but some of the most common consequences include:

  • House Arrest
  • Probation and Curfew
  • Loss of Driver’s License
  • Random Drug Screening
  • Counseling
  • Juvenile Detention
  • Delinquent act citation

Defense Strategies to Avoid a Juvenile Record

We use a systematic approach to the defense of juveniles. First, we try to keep the child from being prosecuted as an adult. Second, we defend a juvenile crime just as we defend an adult. We will try to get charges reduced or dismissed, and we always strive to have illegally obtained evidence suppressed.

Not only must your child be defended, but many times he or she needs intervention so that problematic behavior does not happen again. We can refer your child to services such as counseling, therapy or other services that may help get them back on the right path  and without a criminal record.
