Our Juvenile Crime Defense Practice
In Texas, a person who is 17 years of age or younger is subject to the laws governing juveniles and will, in most instances, be treated as a juvenile when charged with a crime. Because you are not yet considered an adult, with the full ability to discern right from wrong, there are different rules and penalties that apply to criminal prosecutions.
At Bailey & Galyen, we offer comprehensive counsel to minors who have been charged with illegal activity, including
• alcohol offenses, such as minors in possession, underage drinking or DUI/DWI
• drug charges, including possession or trafficking
• arson or mischief
• theft offenses, including shoplifting
• violent crimes, such as robbery, rape, weapons charges or even murder
We will represent you in any juvenile proceeding, whether you have been charged with a felony or a misdemeanor. We are intimately familiar with the Juvenile Justice Code and have handled countless civil proceedings on behalf of minors charged with truancy or other age-based crimes. In most instances, we can help minimize the penalties, getting house arrest, treatment programs or even deferred sentencing.
