Patterson and I have spent my career representing clients from all backgrounds, especially children facing criminal charges in the juvenile and adult court systems. Over the years, I have learned that children and their parents appreciate a lawyer who fights for children to earn a second chance in the eyes of the law. In addition to my legal experience, I also have experience as a youth worker relating high school aged youth. I find that this helps me develop a rapport with my client.

- Juvenile CrimesThe atmosphere surrounding juvenile law is complex. There are extensive laws governing the penalties that a minor can face in a court of law and the circumstances that must be met in order for cases to be tried as an adult. Teenagers deserve to be protected and therefore any parents of minors facing legal charges in either juvenile court or adult court should seek the attention of expert legal counsel. Adolescents and teens have their entire lives in front of them and do not deserve to have their futures ruined by actions that occurred during their youth.
