Yes, a felony conviction will have a serious impact on your daughter's life. You should get her good representation to provide her the best chance of a good outcome.

Any time a person is charged with a crime, they need an attorney. A criminal conviction can follow the life of the person convicted. However, your daughter is a minor and will appear before the juvenile court system, having an attorney will mitigate the damage to her life.

Yes. Those are serious charges that should be handled by an attorney that focuses his practice on criminal defense. I would recommend that you call a criminal defense attorney or two in your area to discuss her situation on more detail.
