Our Norcross Juvenile Criminal Defense Lawyers Protect Youthful Offenders and Their Families

Zimmerman & Associates has developed a niche in representing young adults. With over 47 years of experience, Zimmerman & Associates has a keen understanding of what is involved in these cases. Juvenile charges often result from situations in which a young person has a momentary lapse in judgment, is hanging out with a bad crowd, or gets falsely accused. Unfortunately, even a relatively minor criminal offense could have serious consequences in the Gwinnett County Juvenile Court.

In these situations, Zimmerman & Associates provides the strong legal defense needed. We protect the rights of juvenile offenders and their families, representing clients in the following types of cases:

In addition to providing the strong legal representation needed by young people facing juvenile charges in Gwinnett County, Norcross criminal defense attorneys Barry Zimmerman and Brad Zimmerman also give educational talks at high schools, youth groups, and other social and charitable organizations.

Frequently Asked Questions About Juvenile Crimes

Criminal court guidelines for minors (young people under the age of 18) in Gwinnett County are outlined under Title 15, Chapter 11 of the Georgia Criminal Court. Frequently asked questions we hear from clients regarding these charges and legal proceedings include:

Can a young person be placed under arrest?

Depending on the charges, they may be issued a summons to appear in court or may be immediately placed under arrest and taken to a juvenile facility. In either situation, contact our Norcross juvenile criminal defense attorneys right away.

Can a young person be sent to jail?

Depending on their age and the type of offense, a juvenile offender could potentially receive a jail sentence. This is more likely to happen when they are between the ages of 16 and 18.

Do juvenile convictions remain on a young person’s permanent record?

While records are generally sealed in juvenile cases, the record still exists. A conviction could impact their ability to obtain a job, get student loans, or rob them of other opportunities, now and potentially for the rest of their lives.
