Top-Rated Juvenile Defense Attorneys: Provide Immediate Response 24/7
When a minor is arrested, there are many factors that must immediately be managed, including the fact that the arrest may have taken place in the middle of the night, or the wee hours of the morning, or on a holiday or weekend. The juvenile court does not provide for Bail and thus an immediate Pre-Filing intervention with the probation department is required.
We have successfully investigated, defended, and litigated hundreds of cases in juvenile for various criminal charges including Violent Crime, Drug Crime, DUI, Sex Crime, Theft-Fraud, Domestic Violence, Burglary, Vandalism, Weapons charges, Bench Warrants, or any Other Criminal Offense.
The criminal justice system operates twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, every week of the year, and so does the criminal defense firm of Kestenbaum Eisner & Gorin LLP. Any client, whether an adult or juvenile, new to the Firm or with an existing case, can reach the Firm in the event of an emergency 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including Sundays and holidays. No client should ever left alone to deal with the authorities without expert criminal defense work – this is especially the case for juveniles.
