Understanding Common Juvenile Offenses in Indiana
At Massillamany Jeter & Carson LLP, we understand that kids are not always acting in their own best interests. Our priority is to ensure those mistakes can help them learn valuable lessons without causing irreversible damage to their future.

- DUI

It is important to understand that there are many options for helping a child right their wrongs that do not involve juvenile detention. Our team of juvenile offense attorneys understands how to construct defenses that help courts push children in the right direction.
What to Expect During Juvenile Court Proceedings
Within 48 hours following an arrest, the child will have a detention hearing where a judge will decide whether or not the child will need to stay in a facility or will be able to go home. Having a lawyer present is crucial at this stage. You can read more about juvenile proceedings in Indiana here.
With the right legal team on your side, your child may be able to avoid incarceration by:
- Following specific rules set forth by a judge
- Being put under a no-contact order that prevents your child from coming in contact with potentially dangerous people
- Having their driver’s license
- Being put under house arrest
- Undergoing random drug tests

"Chris Jeter and his team stand by my side to help guide me in the right direction."
My name is Kelley R., owner of Wishes Dance Studio. As a small business owner in Fishers, Indiana I have found having a great attorney to be more valuable to me than great accountant. Chris Jeter and his team stand by my side to help guide me in the right direction. His knowledge of small business protected me in areas I didn't even know existed. As a result, it gave me peace of mind, takes away the worry and lets me concentrate on growing the business.- Kelley R. -
"Amazing and thorough..."
Thomas Blessing and his legal aid, Jacqueline, we're so amazing in the manner in which my grandson was advocated for in our local school system. The situation was difficult, to say the least, and Tom fought ethically and capably to protect our dignity and rights for my grandson's educational needs. We won more than the right for him to attend school as an average student, but also make-up time. I would recommend Tom and his team to help with anything educational legal issues you might have.- Kathy -

"We highly recommend this firm"
Our family has retained M&J LLP on several occasions. We were under great stress, did not know what to do next, and believed our situation was hopeless when we met with Mario M., Chris J., and staff. These people are not only brilliant, educated lawyers, but proved to personally care about what happened to our family. We feel deeply indebted to Mario M. particularly for the caring service we have been receiving. We cannot say enough good things to describe the responsible legal assistance we have received over the past year. We highly recommend this firm and will definitely use their services in the future if necessary- Lynn C.
