Juvenile Crimes

Woodbury | Long Island | Central Islip | Mineola | Hempstead

If you have been charged with a juvenile crime in New York, you want an experienced lawyer to protect your constitutional rights. Your matter will be handled by the family court but you can be placed in juvenile detention, an experience that can be terrifying. We can help.

At the Law Offices of David W. Haber, in Woodbury, New York, we bring more than 12 years of legal experience to individuals throughout Long Island and the surrounding communities. A former prosecutor in Nassau County, Mr. Haber knows how the state evaluates, prepares and presents criminal cases. We can anticipate the tactics they will employ and can help you take proactive measures to protect your constitutional rights.

We know that the criminal justice system can be frightening and confusing, especially when you are a minor. When you work with our office, you will always deal directly with attorney Haber, never with a paralegal or a staff member. We will carefully explain the law and the legal process, as well as your rights and options, so that you can make good decisions.

Our Juvenile Crimes Defense Practice

We offer aggressive counsel to minors who have been charged with violating the law. We handle the defense in cases involving of all types of criminal offenses with which minors can be charged, including:

• Minors in possession or other alcohol-related violations
• Drug crimes, including possession, sale or trafficking, or manufacturing or cultivation
• Assault or other violent crimes
• Sexual offenses, including sexual assault

We have a thorough understanding of the different ways that juvenile crimes are dealt with in the family courts. We can help you seek to avoid detention through diversionary programs, such as therapy or rehabilitation.

When you hire us to handle the defense of a juvenile offense, we will conduct a thorough investigation of the facts and circumstances of your case, including the ways that police and prosecutors gathered evidence against you. We know from experience that minors can often be bullied or intimidated into relinquishing their constitutional rights. We will ensure that there was probable cause for any search or seizure, and that you were properly advised of your rights if interrogated while in custody.
