Juvenile Law

Attorney Jason Vaughn was assigned as a School Resource Officer in New Hanover County for 5 years and was elected to the regional representative position of the North Carolina School Resource Officers Association. We believe that a mistake made as a juvenile shouldn’t ruin a promising future. We understand what juvenile court judges expect to see in an effective defense. We have earned respect and a reputation for integrity among prosecutors, judges and court officials and are able to work closely together to fight for the best possible outcome for your child, including finding options such as community service and alternative programs that don’t include court-imposed obligations or jail.
