Juvenile Crimes

Is Your Child Facing A Criminal Charge in Wisconsin?

Children under the age of 17 who are charged with a criminal offense in Wisconsin are charged with juvenile delinquency, or committing a delinquent act. The consequences of a conviction of juvenile delinquency can be steep. If your child has been charged with a delinquent act, contact me, Waukesha juvenile crime defense attorney Craig Kuhary, as soon as possible.

For over two decades, I have safeguarded the rights and freedoms of juveniles. As an experienced Wisconsin criminal defense attorney, I know that these matters are serious and time-sensitive, which is why I offer legal counsel 24/7. You can rely on me to investigate and aggressively represent your child in their juvenile crime case.

Consequences Of A Juvenile Delinquency Conviction

Your child may be charged with juvenile delinquency, including:

Property crimes, such as shoplifting, theft or burglary
Simple battery (where no one is hurt)
Aggravated or substantial battery (where someone is hurt)
Sex crimes such as statutory rape (which is consensual sex with a minor)
Drug crimes, such as possession, drug trafficking and intent to deliver

A conviction on a drug charge would make your child ineligible for federal financial assistance for college or vocational school. As a parent, Wisconsin law may hold you liable for up to $10,000 in damages for delinquent acts committed by your child.

If your child is a first-time offender, I can seek a deferred prosecution agreement, which is handled by Human Services. Under these agreements, your child will not be charged with a crime. Your child will instead receive informal probation. After successfully completing probation, the case will be closed without your child being charged or convicted. Even if your child is not a first-time offender, there are many things I can do on your child’s behalf.
