Types of Juvenile Offenses We Represent
Because penalties for minors tend to be less severe than for adults, some mistakenly assume child arrests are nothing to worry about. While juvenile crimes are typically tried in the juvenile court system with a focus on restoration vs. punishment, this does not mean these crimes are taken lightly. An aggressive prosecutor will push for strong punishment, and some judges may cooperate in order to send a message. It is vital that you have equally tenacious defense on your child's side to ensure they have the best chance of avoiding a conviction.
Juvenile offenses we defend include:
- Assault
- DWI/DUI
- Underage drinking
- Drug charges
- Sexual harassment
- Vandalism
- Shoplifting
- Truancy
- MIP
- Underage sexting
- Gang crimes

I was in a super stressful situation in which a driver was claiming I caused damaged to their vehicle while driving amongst other things..Mr Scura answered my initial phone call at 7pm at night, and was extremely knowledgeable and kind. He handled everything professionally, and in a timely manner always responding to all of my questions and obtained a very fair and optimal outcome in my case. I’d like to also mention he took all of the stress out of the situation for me at a time in my life that was immensely stressful! I recommend him and would use him again ( but hopefully don’t have to)A Franks

I hired Joseph S. Scura for my criminal case in Superior Court. Joseph was able to downgrade this case to municipal court and at the end have the matter dismissed. I couldn't have asked for a better outcome. Joseph was very supportive and never disappointing from the very start. I was able to reach out to him any time by text message or phone call with timely responses. His suggestions were very positive and genuine. I highly recommended Attorney Joseph S. Scura and his team for any criminal case.Pieter W.

I couldn't recommend Joe Scura and his team more highly. Five stars is not enough. An extremely knowledgeable professional who follows up promptly and maintains contact. He patiently guided me through the legal system and worked tirelessly to turn a potentially serious situation into a dismissal without trial. I hope that there will never be another situation where I would need an attorney, but if so, I would call upon Joe's services without hesitation.William
