The Law Office of Brucar & Yetter
Illinois Juvenile Crime Defense Attorneys
A “get tough” attitude towards crime has affected how juveniles are treated by the criminal court system as well. Now, older juveniles involved in serious crime are often tried as adults and those convicted of sexual offenses are required to register as sex offenders. Additionally, not all juvenile criminal court records are sealed and, in the case of drug violations, a juvenile’s eligibility for student financial aid may be adversely effected due to a drug related conviction. At Brucar & Yetter, our juvenile defense lawyers work closely with prosecutors and the court to reduce charges and pursue alternative sentencing options when counseling and educational programs are available.

Intervention, Education, Prevention
Our adult criminal courts system is structured to remove criminals from society and punish them – it is not intended to solve personal or psychological problems. That’s why its crucial to prevent young people from making mistakes now that may lead to an adult criminal conviction and a life spent behind bars.
Intervening early in a young person’s life, working with the court in getting them the educational and counseling help they need, our juvenile defense lawyers pursue legal options that seek to change behavior rather than simply punish it. Additionally, our criminal defense attorneys undertake the necessary paperwork and legal motions required to clean a child’s criminal record so job applications and financial aid eligibility are not negatively impacted.
