What is deferred prosecution in juvenile cases?
Deferred prosecution in juvenile cases refers to a legal arrangement where a juvenile accused of committing a delinquent act agrees to certain conditions set forth by the court in exchange for having the charges dismissed. This diversionary program aims to provide juveniles with an opportunity to avoid formal adjudication and the potential consequences of a juvenile delinquency finding. Deferred prosecution programs are typically available for minor offenses and first-time offenders who demonstrate a willingness to take responsibility for their actions and comply with court-ordered requirements.

Our experienced attorneys are well-versed in the laws and procedures governing deferred prosecution in juvenile cases and will provide your child with the aggressive representation they need to achieve a favorable outcome.
Deferred prosecution programs typically involve a combination of requirements tailored to the juvenile’s individual circumstances and the nature of the offense. These requirements may include community service, restitution to victims, participation in counseling or rehabilitation programs, and regular check-ins with a probation officer. If the juvenile successfully completes all requirements within a specified period, the charges against them may be dismissed, and their juvenile record may be sealed or expunged.
Our attorneys will work diligently to negotiate favorable terms for your child’s participation in a deferred prosecution program and to ensure that they comply with all requirements set forth by the court.
