My kids were charged with criminal trespassing charges when they did not even know, should I hire a Lawyer?

Was the trespassing sign clearly visible or was it visually obstructed on the path your kids took to enter into that area? Was it government, state owned property or private? If the property is private owned, you can attempt to reason with the owner explaining the kids didn’t know where they were going. It would then be up to them to pursue or drop the charges.

If it is government or state owned, you would have to make a court appearance and explain your case. It would be very helpful hiring a Criminal Defense Attorney to have the charges reduced, or dropped all together in the case the Trespassing Sign was not clearly visible under “unfairness.”
