Most teenagers aren't thinking of Forsyth County's legal system when they commit crimes such as vandalism, truancy, or underage drinking. However, juvenile offenses in the State of Georgia can be as serious as those committed by adults. There are usually long term consequences when teenagers are convicted of breaking the law. In certain circumstances, the juvenile may be charged as an adult, leaving him or her open to a sentence of hefty fines, prison time, and probation. A great juvenile defense lawyer makes all the difference in these situations.
