Juvenile Crime Defense

Lakeland Juvenile Crime Attorney & Lawyer, providing experienced Juvenile Crime Defense and other Criminal Defense legal services in Lakeland, Winter Haven, Bartow, Polk County, and Central Florida.


At The Law Office of Gail Cheatwood, P.A., we understand that today's youth are exposed to an abundance of compromising situations, while suffering under a higher level of peer pressure than the youth of just 10 years ago.

When a juvenile commits a crime, we aggressively work towards a favorable resolution which may provide the juvenile the opportunity to learn from their mistake so they are able to lead a productive life.

Juvenile criminal offenses involve individuals under the age of eighteen (18) years.  In the juvenile court system, youthful offenders are subject to the same criminal charges as an adult may face, but may be subject to milder penalties on account of their youth.

If the offense charged is considered serious enough by the State Attorney and the court, the juvenile may be tried and sentenced as an adult for the particular criminal offense. Being charged with a Juvenile Crime does not mean a child's future is ruined.

Contact an experienced Lakeland Juvenile Crime Attorney & Lawyer at The Law Office of Gail Cheatwood, P.A., by calling (863) 686-0975, and schedule a confidential consultation.

An experienced juvenile crime attorney & lawyer will ensure your child is fully aware of their legal rights and options for their defense regarding the charges against them.

We will hold all evidence, witness statements, and the actions of law enforcement under a microscope, while aggressively protection your legal rights.
