At Kelcey & Hall, we recognise that facing a criminal court can be a formidable and daunting experience. This is especially so for some of the more vulnerable members of society – youths. Tougher criminal justice guidelines have eroded the more lenient approaches to dealing with youths and we see today an enormous increase in the number of juveniles being prosecuted through the courts.
