Orlando Criminal Mischief Lawyer

If your child has been accused of vandalizing or graffiting someone's property, the charge will be criminal mischief. Many parents mistakenly believe the best way to teach their children a lesson about responsibility is to let them face the music and confess to all charges brought up against them. Unfortunately, this is often the worst thing for a young person's future. If your child has been accused of criminal mischief, don't take chances with their defense, speak with an Orlando criminal attorney as soon as possible.

Remember, even if you think your child needs to be taught a lesson, there is no reason you cannot teach them one on your own outside of the courts. By letting them be sentenced in the criminal courts without the help of a skilled Orlando criminal lawyer, you are practically guaranteeing they will be convicted. These convictions will often stay on their criminal record for life, which can impact their job, housing and education opportunities in the future. They may also be banned from receiving certain scholarships and grants, making college even more difficult to pay for. Don't let these opportunities go to waste by letting your son or daughter suffer for one mistake; call Kirkconnell, Lindsey, Snure & Ponall, P.A. today.

When you hire an Orlando criminal attorney from our firm to defend against criminal mischief charges, we will always work to have the charges dropped. By working with the property owner and offering to repair and pay for all damages, we can often have the entire case dropped from the court system. If the owner refuses to drop the case, we will work to show the damage done was of minimal value so your child will be subject to the minimum punishments. If the value of damage is under $1,000, your child will be facing only misdemeanor charges.

If your child has been accused of criminal mischief, please call our offices today and schedule your consultation with a top Orlando criminal lawyer.
