Criminal Defense for Juveniles Charged With Crimes

If your son, daughter or loved one has been charged with a status (underage) crime, or is a juvenile charged with a misdemeanor, felony or Ballot Measure 11 offense, you may be wondering two things: How did this happen and what can I do to fix it?

We have decades of experience helping clients fight criminal charges. Our attorney, Mark Cogan, has more than 40 years of experience providing criminal defense in municipal, state and federal courts. In some cases, early advocacy and investigation work by our defense team can even result in out-of-court Diversion Agreements that greatly reduce the damage to our juvenile clients.

“Dear Mr. Cogan, I wanted to personally thank you for your time spent with me and my daughter.
