Do Juvenile Need a Lawyer in Grand Rapids?

How Long Can a Juvenile Case Take?

It could take months to resolve a juvenile case in Grand Rapids. Your child’s attorney will have the opportunity to evaluate the evidence and craft a defense. Often, plea negotiations take place early on in the process. If a trial is necessary, the case could take longer.

Can a Juvenile go to Jail in Grand Rapids?

Juveniles are not sent to jail alongside adult prisoners in Grand Rapids, even when the charges are serious.
