My wife and I had a great experience using Schierer and Ritchie. They were very professional and responsive from day one, and all the way until the end.

Was Your Child Arrested For a Drug Crime While Attending the Summer Camp Music Festival?

The penalties they could face if convicted can range from significant to severe. When a juvenile is convicted of a drug crime, the chances of them being accepted by employers and educational institutions are dramatically reduced for as long as the mark exists on their criminal record. You must take fast action to help protect their rights and future well-being.

When you are notified that your child has been arrested at the music festival, you should:

• Call a Peoria County criminal defense lawyer: The first thing to do is get a legal professional who carefully approaches juvenile and drug crime charges. If your child has been arrested at the Summer Camp Music Festival but has not yet been charged with a crime, then your criminal defense lawyer might be able to find a way for your child to be released from custody without charges ever being filed.
• Pick up your child: If your child is still detained or incarcerated for drug charges, you should get to them as soon as possible. If they were charged with a serious crime, like drug trafficking, you might be able to pay to release them on bail. For juveniles charged with drug possession without the intent to distribute, they might be released into your custody for free; all you need to do is show up and prove you are the minor’s parent.
• Leave the festival: As much fun as it might be to attend the Summer Camp Music Festival, staying after your child is arrested for a drug crime is not the best idea. The police might notice your child still in attendance after being released and find reasons to get suspicious, possibly resulting in another detainment. The correct move is to go home and work with your drug crimes lawyer on your defense case.
