Law Enforcement / Prosecution

Law enforcement and prosecutors recognize that without intervention, young offenders become seasoned criminals as they get older. For that reason, law enforcement dedicates time and resources to investigating and arresting children. Children who are brought before juvenile court (between the ages of 10 to 17) are also not held to the same standards as adults. Once arrested, that child has no right to bail or a jury trial. Their fate lies in the hands of a judge. Children are poor advocates for themselves. They rarely possess the ability to select the proper attorney or assist in choosing a wise defense strategy. They are also often scared and traumatized by a difficult childhood and the fear of the unknown criminal process that lies ahead of them. In order to ensure they are protected under the law, these children require a juvenile lawyer.

Example Case

In 2008, a 14-year old boy was charged with throwing a large rock at a police officer and police cruiser, both felonies. Mr. Kroger and his team navigated the young man and his family through the juvenile process and ensured that he was released to his mother and given a second chance. Four years later, that boy, now a young man, saw attorney William Holbrook of the Kroger Law Group in a shopping mall. He shook Mr. Holbrook's hand and thanked him for helping him through that difficult situation. He had just enrolled in college and had indeed turned his life around.
