Juvenile Delinquency: Drug Possession, Underage DUI & Underage Drinking


Minors (those under the age of 18) who have been charged with a crime in Tennessee generally face it in juvenile court. There are extreme cases, such as the nature of the charge and circumstances surrounding it, that may lead to a prosecutor to try a minor as an adult. However, these are more serious cases.

Our Clinton juvenile crime attorneys can effectively defend your child in all types of criminal charges, including:

• Drug charges
• Underage drinking
• Underage DUI charges
• Truancy
• Vandalism
• Shoplifting
• Assault
• Dependency & Neglect


Proceedings can be brought forth in juvenile court when a child is being abused or neglected. While they can be initiated by concerned relatives, caretakers or teachers, they are often conducted at the request of the Department of Children's Services (DCS). Whether you are the parent and need an experienced Clinton criminal defense lawyer against such allegations or are the concerned party, we can help make sure your child's best interests are maintained.
