Experience and Skill in Matters of Juvenile Justice
William Barabino has in-depth experience in the area of juvenile justice. He has served two governors as a member of the Juvenile Justice Advisory Committee (JJAC). The JJAC — along with other organizations and experts — gives the Massachusetts Executive Office of Public Safety input in developing a statewide plan for identifying and offering guidance on matters relating to delinquency prevention and overall child well-being.
As an experienced lawyer, he handles a wide range of matters related to juvenile crime:
- Youthful offender Indictments
- Minor in Possession of Alcohol
- Assault and Battery
- Shoplifting/larceny
- Trespassing
- Drug possession and distribution
- License suspension
- Disturbing a school assembly
- Tagging
- Disorderly Conduct
If you are under 17 years old, you are considered a juvenile under Massachusetts law. You can be charged with many crimes in juvenile court, which places different penalties on youthful offenders than district court places on adult offenders.
Sometimes juvenile crimes can have an effect on an offender's school life as well as home life. When this happens, Mr. Barabino also represents children and teens in school expulsion hearings resulting from charges. These hearings often take place before the principal or superintendent and can have long-term consequences. Because they are serious, it is critical that they be handled effectively. Mr. Barabino has successfully advocated before several school districts, including Lynn, Swampscott and Salem.
