Philadelphia Juvenile Defense Attorney

Do you know someone under eighteen who is in trouble with the law? Do the police want to interview a young person who hasn’t even been charged with a crime? It is important to contact a Philadelphia juvenile defense attorney before speaking with police. Philadelphia attorney Randolph Goldman is committed to the protection of the rights of juveniles. At a free initial consultation he will explain what measure need to be taken immediately.

Mr. Goldman has thirty years of experience as a Pennsylvania juvenile crimes attorney. He works with the juvenile court, social workers, and criminal courts to see that children’s needs are considered at all times. A critical point in juvenile proceedings is the preliminary hearing, where it is determined whether a child charged as an adult can have the case returned to juvenile court.

When a young person is charged with a crime or faces a delinquency hearing, the defense lawyer must demand that the authorities take a balanced and reasonable approach to the matter. Juvenile proceedings are designed to take into consideration the age of the defendant and sentencing is focused on rehabilitation.

The facts of a case must be interpreted reasonably. Attorney Goldman does not rely solely on skill at trial to address these issues. Successful criminal defense is based on preparation.
