Juvenile Crimes

At The Simpson Law Office, we understand that juvenile crime cases require a unique approach, as the consequences can have a lasting impact on a young person’s future. Jeffrey Simpson, an experienced Criminal Law Attorney in Toledo, Ohio, is dedicated to providing compassionate and effective legal defense for minors accused of juvenile crimes. Whether your child is facing charges for theft, drug offenses, vandalism, or more serious crimes, our firm is committed to protecting their rights and working toward a resolution that minimizes the long-term effects on their life.

Juvenile crime cases are handled differently than adult criminal cases, with a focus on rehabilitation rather than punishment. Ohio’s juvenile justice system is designed to provide young offenders with the opportunity to learn from their mistakes and avoid future criminal behavior. Jeffrey Simpson has extensive experience navigating the juvenile court system and will work to ensure that your child’s case is handled with care and attention. We strive to keep cases in juvenile court whenever possible and avoid escalation to adult court, where penalties can be more severe.

One of the most critical aspects of defending against juvenile crime charges is understanding the unique challenges that minors face. Peer pressure, immaturity, and lack of judgment can play a significant role in a young person’s actions. Jeffrey Simpson will work closely with you and your child to understand the circumstances surrounding the charges and craft a defense strategy that highlights their potential for rehabilitation. We aim to present your child in the best possible light and seek outcomes such as diversion programs, counseling, or probation, rather than harsh penalties.

If your child is facing serious charges, such as violent crimes or drug trafficking, the stakes are higher, and the prosecution may attempt to transfer the case to adult court. Jeffrey Simpson is well-versed in fighting against these transfers and will work tirelessly to keep the case in juvenile court, where the focus is on rehabilitation. We understand the life-altering consequences of adult convictions and are committed to protecting your child’s future by pursuing every available option to keep them within the juvenile justice system.

At The Simpson Law Office, we also recognize that a juvenile criminal record can affect your child’s educational and employment opportunities in the future. That’s why we are dedicated to exploring all avenues to protect their record, including seeking expungement of juvenile offenses when possible. Jeffrey Simpson is committed to ensuring that a youthful mistake does not define the rest of your child’s life, and he will guide you through the legal process with compassion and determination.
