Youth Offenders are individuals charged with a crime who have attained the age of sixteen, but who have not yet reached their eighteenth birthday.  Children whose cases have been transferred to the Criminal Court from the Juvenile Court may be considered Youthful Offenders as well. 

Youthful Offender status offers some advantages, including a lesser impact on one's criminal record and greater confidentiality.  Attorney Wing can help you, or your child, reach a disposition that reduces the effect of the incident on the youth's future.
