Colorado Springs Juvenile Crimes Attorney
Defense Lawyers for Criminal Matters in Colorado
If a minor is arrested on suspicion of a crime, you may assume their case will be handled through the Colorado juvenile crimes justice system. This is not always the case, however, as many juveniles are charged as adults. In either situation, having a skilled criminal defense lawyer with specific experience handling juvenile cases is imperative.
At the Gasper Law Group, we have seen firsthand the effects a criminal allegation and/or conviction can have on a young person’s life. Attorney Caryn J. Adams is committed to protecting the rights of juveniles accused of crimes in Colorado.
All of our criminal defense attorneys in Colorado Springs are highly skilled and proactive, so please contact our office to discuss how we can assist you or your child today.
Common Juvenile Cases
Juveniles can be accused of breaking the law just like anyone else and regularly face a wide variety of criminal charges. Some of the more common charges faced by juveniles can include the following:
- Assault
- Theft
- Marijuana and other drug possession
- Drug trafficking
- Driving under the influence (DUI)
- Minor in possession of alcohol (MIP)
- Trespass
- Mischief
- Vandalism
- Sexual assault or other sex-related offenses
All of the above offenses carry collateral consequences for a juvenile. For example, they may have their driver’s license suspended because of a DUI case or become ineligible for federal financial aid due to drug convictions. Sexual offenses can have a particularly serious impact if the juvenile is ordered to report as a sex offender. Our sex crimes defense attorneys can save your personal and professional opportunities for years, as registration does not simply end once the juvenile becomes an adult. And it is important to remember that all of these consequences are in addition to any time in jail or a juvenile detention center, fines, or strict probation conditions.
Handling Matters in Juvenile Court
The juvenile justice system works quite differently from the adult criminal justice system in Colorado. An attorney who understands how to navigate the juvenile system can work with prosecutors to encourage rehabilitative solutions instead of detention. Rehabilitative options can even result in a positive impact on a juvenile’s life by addressing underlying issues. Oftentimes, enrollment in substance abuse counseling, anger management classes, or other types of assistance may be all it takes to get a juvenile a second chance; to proceed without any type of record.
Representing Your Child in Criminal Court
It is a frightening prospect for a juvenile to be charged as an adult. Seeing a child appear in court next to adult defendants and, if convicted, be imprisoned alongside adult offenders can have a dramatic impact on the developing psyche of a child. Not only can this be dangerous for a child, it can change the course of their lives, from how they are treated to how they treat themselves. Not only do the attorneys at The Gasper Law Group handle cases in juvenile court, but we do so with the experience gained from constant, daily practice in the courtroom. No matter what type of case a juvenile faces, we can provide assistance.

"I highly recommend that you not waste your time hiring other attorneys and hire the Gasper Law Group."After an absolutely crazy incident that could not have been seen almost anywhere besides a movie. I received some serious charges and was in search of an attorney. They would not only represent me but need to do the right thing because it's the right thing to do. Not because of a paycheck. I met Caryn Adams after meeting with several other top attorneys in the Colorado Springs area. I was very impressed with her genuine care about my situation and her want to help me. Not only did I want great representation, but I needed someone that I could reasonably afford given all the other expenses I was incurring. Caryn checked every box I needed. She was the only attorney who took extra care when I initially met with her to do everything she could do to protect me even before I hired her. I highly recommend that you not waste your time hiring other attorneys and hire the Gasper Law Group. They will protect you.- Lance F.

"You can say I am a very satisfied client!!"After my traffic accident my daughter advised me that I should get legal council and she directed me to contact your law firm. As I set on a couple occasions to meeting with the people in your firm. I got the feeling that this was a right decision and that I would be taken care of. This feeling was spot on as the attorney assigned to my case (Mr. Robert F. To o l e was very good and went to great lengths to make sure that he understood all aspects of my accident and what the police did or did not do. And today at my appointed time to be in court Mr. Toole briefed me as to what was expected and showed me a statement from the city and their offer of no point or any changes to my driving privileges and with only a small fine to be paid. As I agreed to this I went into the courtroom with Mr. Toole and had a good understanding between the judge and Mr. Toole and myself. I can say that regardless of all the advertisements you see on the media by the different law firms touting all the money they get there clients. The Gasper Law firm is very much above all these others because they truly care about the people they represent. From the clerks to the staff to the lawyers this is what makes your firm so good. And lawyer Robert F. Toole is every bit what a lawyer should be and none of the BS. And I will recommend your firm and Mr. Toole to all my friends and others who need good representation in legal matters. You can say I am a very satisfied client!!- Walter N.
