Most juvenile crimes are similar to adult crimes but the process, laws and handling of juvenile offenses is completely different than that of the Adult offender. The law office of Joseph P. Nahas is committed to the rehabilitation of a juvenile if possible rather than placement in a juvenile facility. If a juvenile is convicted of a crime, his or her whole future can be jeopardized whereby a felony conviction can result in the juvenile being charged as an adult. Furthermore, a felony will carry with the juvenile for the purposes of a prior record for the rest of his or her life. A felony crime attached to a juvenile will greatly hinder that individual from having a successful career, going to college and will most likely prohibit him or her from serving our country in the military as an adult.
