Owenby Law, P.A. has earned a reputation for providing hard-hitting criminal defense to clients throughout Jacksonville, Orange Park, St. Augustine, Fleming Island, and the surrounding areas of Florida. Our top-rated criminal defense lawyers have extensive experience protecting the rights of the criminally accused, as well as protecting the futures of minors who have been charged with crimes handled in the state’s juvenile justice system.

Future-Oriented Juvenile Defense

Our attorneys understand that youthful mistakes can subject children to serious consequences, which is why we work zealously to review and investigate the situation, explore available options and defense strategies, and work toward securing the best possible resolution.

While we aim for charge dismissals that pose no penalties to clients, we also understand the value of working with prosecutors and the court to adjudicate alternative sentencing options that may allow a juvenile to remain out from behind bars, obtain the education or treatment they may need, and have the opportunity to show they can comply with court terms in order to eliminate a criminal record. We explore all available options in each case, and tailor our strategies to the facts at hand.

Put an Experienced Criminal Defense Team on Your Side

When the stakes are high for youth accused of crimes, especially when they are charged as adults, it becomes critical to have the representation and guidance you need to navigate the legal process and fight for the best outcome possible. Our attorneys are passionate about helping juveniles weather these difficult times and secure a resolution they can live with and grow past, not one that results in unfair punishment and long-term consequences and limitations.

Because time is of crucial importance in criminal cases handled by the juvenile court, we encourage you to contact us immediately following an arrest or formal charge. By speaking to a lawyer from our firm early on in the process, you can afford the time needed to explore all defense and resolution strategies, and pursue the most appropriate one for your child.
