When a youth is accused of engaging in property damage or vandalism, both the potential for immediate and future consequences are frightening. Uniquely, the juvenile court system offers a number of rehabilitative programs for convicted offenders in an effort to prevent any future criminal behavior. An experienced criminal defense lawyer, in many circumstances, may be more likely to position your child to receive rehabilitative rather than punitive sentencing in the Dallas juvenile court system. The Dallas property damage and vandalism defense lawyers at the Law Offices of Mark T. Lassiter are prepared to defend the rights of your child against any property damage or vandalism charges.
