If you have a teen listen to this. Our law firm recently handled a case involving a local teen who had everything going for him when he made one poor decision that almost cost him his future. If you are thinking that your teen would never do something like this, you need to keep reading. His parents didn’t think their son would ever take drugs or get arrested but he did and you need to know what to do if something like this catches your family by surprise.
The fact is, this family is just like your family and mine. We raise our kids to be responsible and we do everything we can to set them up for success. I know that my wife and I do what we can to teach our kids right from wrong and set a good example but as law firm owners we also know how quickly a split decision can turn lives upside down.
So when this boy’s parents called to tell us that their Ivy League-bound son decided to take drugs at a party and behaved so erratically that he was tackled into submission by police officers and then arrested, we were moved to help. We knew that what this family needed was compassion and legal experts to guide them through the ordeal.
We did everything we could to protect the boy from suffering extreme consequences from one poor decision.
The incident was a one-time occurrence and, other than this single infraction, the young man was a model student and athlete.
We obtained treatment for him and negotiated on his behalf with the prosecutor for reduced charges and managed to close the case without having a conviction appear on his record. He completed his community service and treatment and went on to play his favorite sport at his dream school.
I share this story with you so you know that if your son or daughter gets in trouble with the law, you know where to turn for advice and support you can call us. At Rohan law, we will never judge you or your child. We will listen and help you navigate the legal system to protect your children from extreme consequences from charges ranging from speeding tickets, drug use, pranks that turn into crimes, and more. At Rohan Law, we want to be your best friend on your worst day.
