Juvenile Crime
Experienced Richmond Juvenile Defense LawyerHas your son or daughter been charged with a crime? Are you concerned for their future? Are you seeking the assistance of an experienced juvenile law attorney? Contact me, attorney Eddy Paul Rice, IV. My firm has been representing juveniles for more than 30 years. As an experienced lawyer, I have a thorough understanding of juvenile law and will strive to minimize the effects of a juvenile crime both now and into the future. Contact my office in Richmond, Virginia to put my knowledge and experience to work for you. I provide underage criminal defense services for clients charged with the following:
When a juvenile commits a crime, the penalties are typically less serious than those for adults and include driver's license suspension or revocation, fines, juvenile detention and/or probation. However, this does not mean that juveniles need substandard criminal defense. I offer my clients equal attention and service, whether they are under 18, adults, first-time offenders or habitual offenders. My promise is to always provide a strong defense and seek positive results in every case I handle. Destruction of RecordsThe Commonwealth of Virginia understands that juveniles make mistakes and should not suffer indefinitely for a crime committed while young. Typically, juvenile records are destroyed once the child reaches the age of 19 or 5 years after their last hearing before the juvenile court, whichever occurs later. In addition, a juvenile may request the early destruction of juvenile records if they are found not guilty of a misdemeanor. Please note, these rules do not apply to convictions for felonies. I can help guide you through this process, explaining your options and taking the appropriate actions.
