Birmingham Juvenile Defense Attorney
Young people deserve protection—not permanent punishment.When Your Child Is Facing Charges, You Need Clarity and Compassion
Birmingham juvenile defense Attorney Eric Hamilton understands how terrifying it is when your child faces criminal charges. Whether the case involves school-related misconduct, drugs, theft, or a violent offense, you may feel helpless, confused, or angry.
At 365 Legal, we help Birmingham families navigate the juvenile justice system with clarity, empathy, and fierce legal advocacy. Above all, our goal is simple: protect your child’s future.
Juvenile Charges Our Birmingham Juvenile Defense Attorney Handles
Disorderly Conduct / School Fights
Charges often stem from conflicts in hallways, lunchrooms, or buses. As a result, we work to de-escalate the legal response and avoid permanent records.
Drug Possession or Paraphernalia
In some cases, even small amounts of marijuana or vape cartridges can lead to serious juvenile court involvement. Therefore, we advocate for alternative outcomes and education-based interventions.
Underage Drinking or DUI
Zero tolerance laws mean a minor can face criminal consequences for even trace amounts of alcohol. As a result, we protect young drivers from license suspension and long-term damage.
Theft, Burglary, or Shoplifting
From taking items at school to more serious burglary charges, we help families find a path to accountability. That’s why we focus on fair resolutions—not unnecessary punishment.
Sexual Misconduct or Harassment
Accusations—especially in school settings—require careful, discreet handling. At the same time, we defend minors while protecting their dignity and rights.
Assault or Weapon Possession
Often, altercations, threats, or possession of banned items on school property can lead to life-changing outcomes. Consequently, we bring experienced, balanced defense to high-stakes cases.

Protecting Records, Preserving Futures: What a Birmingham Juvenile Defense Attorney Can Do
Juvenile convictions can follow a young person for years—impacting scholarships, jobs, college admissions, and reputation. But in many cases, charges are eligible for dismissal, sealing, or alternative resolution if handled early and effectively.
Moreover, we work closely with families and the court system to build a path forward that focuses on growth—not just punishment.
