If you are under the age of 18 and have run into problems with the law, or if your minor child faces criminal prosecution, you want an experienced and aggressive attorney to help you get the outcome you want. A conviction can affect your life for years to come, making it difficult to qualify for or obtain educational funding, and disqualifying you from working in certain industries or occupations. You want an experienced lawyer to help protect your freedom and your future.

At the Law Offices of John E. Kusturiss Jr. in Media, our attorneys offer decades of criminal defense experience to people in eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Both attorney Kusturiss (who has more than 30 years of experience) and attorney Alyssa K. Poole are former prosecutors who know how the state prepares criminal cases. We can anticipate the strategies prosecutors will employ to try to get a conviction. We also have the skill and experience to quickly assess your case and determine whether you should negotiate a plea bargain or fight for your rights in court.

We are experienced trial lawyers with a proven record of success. In our personal injury practice, we have obtained several million-dollar awards for our clients. We have the experience, knowledge and skill to protect your constitutional rights. To schedule a free initial consultation, contact our office by e-mail or call us at 610-565-0240 for an appointment.

Protecting the Rights of Minors in Criminal Prosecution

The teenage and young adult years are a vulnerable time for many people. As you are trying to find your footing in life and expanding your sphere of interest, you can unwittingly find yourself in circumstances that can have long-lasting implications. People you don’t really know can get you into some serious trouble.

At our offices, we work closely with juveniles and their parents, aggressively protecting your rights when you have been arrested for or charged with violating the law. We know that the criminal justice system can be intimidating and confusing. Police officers and prosecutors will often use their knowledge and experience to scare you into making admissions or saying things you really don’t want to say. The terms they use can be confusing.

We handle the defense for all types of juvenile crimes, from the so-called “status offenses,” such as truancy, to more serious violations of the law, including:

• Theft offenses
• DUI / DWI / DAI
• Assault, from threats at school to harassment or battery
• Sex crimes
• Destruction of property

We will look at alternative programs, when appropriate, to help minimize the consequences of a juvenile conviction.
