Understanding Common Juvenile Offenses in Indiana
At Massillamany Jeter & Carson LLP, we understand that kids are not always acting in their own best interests. Our priority is to ensure those mistakes can help them learn valuable lessons without causing irreversible damage to their future.

- DUI

It is important to understand that there are many options for helping a child right their wrongs that do not involve juvenile detention. Our team of juvenile offense attorneys understands how to construct defenses that help courts push children in the right direction.
What to Expect During Juvenile Court Proceedings
Within 48 hours following an arrest, the child will have a detention hearing where a judge will decide whether or not the child will need to stay in a facility or will be able to go home. Having a lawyer present is crucial at this stage. You can read more about juvenile proceedings in Indiana here.
With the right legal team on your side, your child may be able to avoid incarceration by:
- Following specific rules set forth by a judge
- Being put under a no-contact order that prevents your child from coming in contact with potentially dangerous people
- Having their driver’s license
- Being put under house arrest
- Undergoing random drug tests
