Handling All Kinds of Juvenile Cases
Everyone makes mistakes and everyone has the occasional lapse of judgment – especially minors, who are still developing mentally. If your child has gotten in trouble with the law, we want to make sure their promising future is not taken from them.
When an adult is convicted of a crime, the criminal justice system and its sanctions are intended to discourage the perpetrator from committing a crime again. The juvenile justice system takes a slightly different approach. Rather than punish an offender, the juvenile system strives to rehabilitate them. As such, sentences for juveniles are often less severe and more focused on educating the offender and diverting them from crime than punishing them and tarnishing their future.
Potential sentences for juveniles may include:
Community service
Drug or alcohol courses
Mandatory letters of apology
Educational seminars

“I would highly recommend Haslett Law to anyone seeking legal assistance.”
I was referred to Betsy Haslett by an attorney at a large Jacksonville business. I live in North Carolina and desperately need legal help with two separate family emergencies in Florida. Betsy helped me understand all of the steps of the actions we needed to take. She was always available to me as I navigated crisis after crisis. My family emergencies have been resolved thanks to Betsy’s attention to detail and we continue to address additional issues as they arise. I am grateful for her legal expertise and her support during an extremely difficult and emotional time. I would highly recommend Haslett Law to anyone seeking legal assistance.

“Our lives would not be as blessed as they are today.”
JR went above and beyond to see our case through. Even after our family member botched up the initial deal that had been struck, he stepped in when he didn’t have to and re negotiated another opportunity. JR took a sincere interest in our family and were it not for his extra effort our lives would not be as blessed as they are today. He told us at the beginning that he would follow the case through to it end and that’s exactly what he did and then some.
