Avoid lifetime registration as a sex offender
It is not widely known, but juvenile convictions for sex offenses usually result in lifetime registration as a sex offender.
Avoid certification as an adult if at all possible!
Mr. Taylor understands the changes in attitude toward juvenile justice that have occurred in the past 20 years. The trend is toward harsher punishment and certification of juveniles for trial as adults. Certification and conviction as an adult takes the child out of the juvenile justice system and allows him or her to receive an adult prison sentence of up to 40 years.
How can I help my child?
Attorney Ray Taylor urges parents to remember that their child has rights, including the right to:
- Refuse to speak with law enforcement without legal representation. This right should always be exercised and it cannot be held against the youngster in any way.
- Refuse a social history interview with a psychologist or social worker, which is part of the prosecutor's effort to gain information to have the child transferred to adult court for trial as an adult
- Remember that the professionalism of your lawyer will greatly effect how your child's case is handled. The result can affect the rest of his life, including opportunities for future employment.
