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.

ABQ, NM Criminal Defense Attorney

As a criminal defense lawyer, I have decades of experience defending juveniles against convictions that adversely affect their futures. In addition to criminal defense, I will ensure your child’s juvenile record is sealed to prevent problems in the future.
