Juvenile Crime Lawyer in Albuquerque
Children charged with juvenile crimes often do not understand the impact of their actions, nor do they understand that there may be long-term repercussions as a result of their criminal record. Juvenile offenses must be handled by a juvenile criminal defense attorney working closely with the family to protect the child’s interests.
I am juvenile criminal attorney Angela Arellanes, and I have defended juveniles accused of crimes in Albuquerque, New Mexico for more than 25 years.
Contact me to schedule a consultation to discuss your case.
Albuquerque, NM Juvenile Criminal Defense Law
As an Albuquerque juvenile attorney, I am here to help your child through this difficult time using my knowledge of juvenile law and my trial experience defending minors charged with misdemeanor and felony crimes.
I provide juvenile criminal defense for all types of juvenile crimes, including:
- Underage drug possession
- Underage DUI
- Trespass and vandalism offenses
- Shoplifting and theft defense
- Property crimes
- Felony robbery
- Armed robbery
Working closely with the minor and their parents, I develop juvenile criminal defense that first aims to keep the case—and your child—out of court. Instead, we will search for an alternative resolution in lieu of a criminal conviction, including diversion programs, rehabilitation and community service.
