Traffic Offenses, Juvenile Law, Simple Wills

          Your right to drive is very important. Traffic offenses can put that right in jeopordy. Commuting to work, going to the grocery store, running errands and meeting friends are all examples of daily events that take you out on the road. Any time you are rushed or have things on your mind these daily events present opportunities for traffic violations. Traffic law violations carry stiff penalties and may bring long-term effects. In addition to escalating fines, insurance companies may raise premiums or drop your policy. Jennifer M. Newman will fight for you, to ensure that you can protect your rights to drive.

         When it comes to any cases involving a Juvenile, it is important to take great caution. Juvenile court is unique and should not be treated as if it were adult court for young clients.  While the substantive criminal law is the same in juvenile and adult court, the procedures and sentencing law are substantially different.  The consequences of a misstep by an attorney inexperienced in juvenile matters can be devastating. For example, contrary to what many parents believe, a juvenile conviction is not removed from a child's record when he or she turns 18. They may remain on state criminal records databases and may affect a young person's ability to enter college, obtain employment, financial aid, a driver's license or join the military.   Additionally, juvenile convictions can result in commitment to a juvenile detention facility or institution for periods ranging from days to months and even years. Worse, in some cases, a child may end up being prosecuted in adult court where the punishment is even more severe. In these cases it is wise to have a well experenced attorney to help you understand and fight.

          While you may have told your family how you want your estate distributed upon your death, your wishes won't be legally enforceable unless written in a document. That document could be a last will. Jennifer M. Newman has much exoperence will assisting and writing up many wills and final testaments.
