The Call Every Parent Dreads: Keeping Your Kids Out of Criminal Court

Custom quote
Workshop1 to 2 hoursIn person or virtual
For spouses and partners and families and children.

A former domestic violence & sex assault prosecutor turned criminal defense attorney walks through real, anonymized cases where good kids from good families ended up facing criminal charges, and what changed the outcome. Parents learn how police, schools and prosecutors actually build cases against young people. The session ends with a live role-play of the police phone call and open Q&A, so every parent leaves knowing exactly what to say and do.

  • A script for the first 10 minutes after a police call or arrest, so your child stays safe and says nothing that hurts the case.
  • A checklist of the teen and young adult behaviors that turn mistakes into charges: group chat threats, sharing images, vaping, DUI, fights.
  • A 48-hour plan: who to call first, what to tell the school, and what never to text or post.
