Washington Juvenile Defense Attorney
If your son, daughter, or a minor in your care has been charged with a crime in Washington, I can help. My name is Jeff Goldstein. I represent adults and juveniles in criminal cases throughout central Washington and western Washington
I handle all juvenile charges, including.
- Drug charges: drug possession, drug trafficking
- Theft offenses: shoplifting, theft, burglary
- Violent crimes: assault, gun crimes, gang crimes
- Property crimes: Trespassing, vandalism
Additionally, juvenile courts in Washington have the ability to increase a juvenile sentence through a finding of Manifest Injustice (MI), if they believe a sentence too lenient.
If your child has been charged with a juvenile crime and you need to speak with a criminal defense attorney, contact me at 866.678.1382. I offer a free consultation to discuss your legal rights and options.
Protect Your Child's Record and Future
Because juvenile charges typically do not lead to jail sentences, some parents feel that the cost of an attorney is not warranted. Parents may even feel that a punishment will benefit their child if, in fact, their child has committed a crime.
Before you make such a decision, consider the possible repercussions of a juvenile record. Although juvenile records are generally confidential, any employer or college may ask your child if they have ever been convicted of a crime. A simple mistake made by a misguided teenager can have a lasting effect. Protect your child's long-term educations and employment opportunities by protecting their record.
