Juvenile Delinquency Complaints in Bergen County NJ

Unlike the criminal court system for adult offenders in New Jersey, the juvenile court system focuses on rehabilitation of young offenders rather than punishment. They use the court proceedings to teach, inform, and rehabilitate rather than focusing on punishment.

I’m Travis J. Tormey, the founding partner of the Tormey Law Firm, LLC, in Hackensack, New Jersey. My fellow attorneys and I have extensive experience representing juveniles in the New Jersey juvenile court system. You need an attorney who understands the nuanced rules of juvenile court and how they differ from adult court and the potential consequences and resolutions that may be applicable to your son or daughter’s case.

Juvenile offenses typically lead to charges being brought in the county where the juvenile resides, rather than where the offense occurred. In appropriate cases, a judge will grant a motion to transfer the case to the county of the juvenile offense. Juvenile trials are heard by a judge without a jury. The rules of trial in juvenile court are different from adult court. At sentencing, the judge has many options that are unavailable to adult defendants. The fact is most juvenile cases are settled without going to trial, but I am always willing to take a case to trial if it’s in the client’s best interest.

Here is a review from one of our many satisfied clients who had a juvenile matter in Bergen County Superior Court where the case was dismissed:

“Consummate Professional!”

“Mr. Tormey is a consummate professional. Our case was sensitive and complicated and unusually lengthy for a juvenile case. For 8 months Mr. Tormey faithfully worked our case and never failed to show for court once. Punctual, disciplined, knowledgeable, patient and responsive there aren’t enough words of admiration and gratitude I can apply to him. My son’s case was resolved in our favor and we owe it to Mr. Tormey’s unwavering professionalism. I choose him based on previous reviews and I am so pleased I did as the excellent reviews are absolutely warranted. He made an unbearable situation so much more bearable with his calm demeanor. I highly recommend Travis to anyone needing a juvenile defense attorney. He knows the law and he knows how to navigate the judicial jungle. Without a doubt, one of the best attorneys out there. Thank you Travis for giving my son his life back, I will forever be gratefully indebted.”
