Juvenile Court
DEDICATED SOUTH DAKOTA ATTORNEYS FIGHT FOR YOUR CHILD’S FUTURE IN JUVENILE COURT
When a young person faces charges in juvenile court, the stakes are high — but the goal should always be rehabilitation, not punishment. At Griese Law Firm, P.C., we are passionate about defending the rights of minors and ensuring they get a fair chance at a brighter future. Our experienced attorneys understand the unique dynamics of the juvenile justice system and fight tirelessly to protect your child’s rights, record, and future. Here’s how we approach juvenile defense:
Understanding the Juvenile Process — The juvenile court system operates differently from adult court. We guide you through every step, ensuring you understand the process and your child’s rights.
Challenging the Evidence — We scrutinize every piece of evidence, from witness statements to police reports, to uncover weaknesses in the prosecution’s case and challenge any procedural errors.
Advocating for Rehabilitation — Our attorneys work to emphasize your child's potential for rehabilitation, advocating for alternatives to incarceration such as counseling, community service, or educational programs.
Protecting Your Child’s Record — We strive to keep charges from becoming a permanent mark on your child’s future, negotiating for sealed records or dismissal whenever possible.
Fighting for Fair Treatment — We ensure your child is treated fairly throughout the legal process, challenging any attempts to try them as an adult or impose undue penalties.
Our goal is to help young clients learn from their mistakes without facing a lifetime of consequences. We believe in second chances and are dedicated to securing the best possible outcome for your child.
