Englewood Juvenile Criminal Defense Attorney

Providing Juvenile Defense in Bergen County

We all made mistakes when we were young. However, no child or teenager should have to live with the consequences of a mistake for the rest of his or her life.

At the law office of Alan M. Liebowitz, Esq., LLC, we defend juveniles from criminal charges in Bergen and Passaic counties as well as the surrounding communities. We understand that every child deserves a second chance and we fight to protect the rights of juveniles who have been charged with crimes. If you or your child are facing criminal charges, you need skilled and knowledgeable defense counsel.

Defense to Juvenile Offenses & Adult Crimes

With more than 25 years of criminal defense experience, Alan Liebowitz provides knowledgeable defense counsel and advice at every stage in the criminal process. From initial investigations to hearings in family court, we will work to minimize the impact of a juvenile conviction on you or your child's future.

Alternative Forms of Punishment for Juveniles in New Jersey

Unlike criminal court, there is a focus on rehabilitation in juvenile court. Attorney Alan Liebowitz pursues rehabilitation and other alternative sentences for juvenile clients. This can include community service, restitution or rehab for juveniles with alcohol or drug problems.

If you are underage and are being charged as an adult, we will fight to have your charges brought in family court. At the juvenile level, criminal records are sealed and will have a lesser impact on job or college applications. At the adult level, the penalties are severe and it is more difficult to have a criminal record sealed or expunged.
