Because of a desire not only to punish, but to rehabilitate children charged with crimes, special jurisdiction and courts are established for the prosecution of Juvenile offenses.

Florida Law however gives the State discretion to prosecute certain juveniles as adults,  exposing them to the same harsh penalties.

Bradley M. Collins, P.A., has been protecting children and families facing charges in Juvenile Court for more than 30 years.  We have a unique understanding of the laws, the Courts and the special needs of those facing charges at a young age.
