Our experienced California juvenile attorneys will aggressively defend your juvenile
|
An individual who is under 18 in California and is charged with a crime will probably be charged as a juvenile, unless the crime is a very serious offense such as murder or rape. Some crimes, such as assault or drug crimes, are crimes for everyone, while others such as vandalism are more common for juveniles, and a few offenses, such as running away or violating curfew, are statutory offenses which are wrongful merely because of the individual’s age. It is crucial to hire a skilled California juvenile attorney for any juvenile matter due to the fact that juvenile criminal cases differ significantly from adult criminal cases.
The effects of a juvenile being charged with a crime can be long lasting. Although the California juvenile system is more aimed at rehabilitation than punishment, a juvenile may face expulsion, incarceration, fines, counseling, treatment, probation, and community service, depending on what offense was committed. A conviction can also affect the individual after he or she is an adult, such as job and educational opportunities. Furthermore, juveniles as young as 14 can be tried as adults in certain circumstances, such as prior record and severity of the crime, which will increase the severity of the punishments if the juvenile receives adult treatment. Experienced juvenile defense attorneys understand what is at stake, and take pride in their representation.
Our California juvenile attorneys are dedicated to protecting your juvenile from having a juvenile record. The moment you contact us, our experienced California criminal defense attorneys will seek to stop any investigation before charges are filed and, if they are filed, to have the charges dropped before getting to the courtroom. We will aggressively research the facts and circumstances of your juvenile’s case until our California criminal lawyers have discovered the best defense for your juvenile, whether the charge is theft, shoplifting, drug possession, underage drinking, or truancy. Furthermore, our California criminal defense attorneys will ensure that you and your juvenile are informed and protected throughout the entire process.
Your juvenile has wonderful potential and is looking forward to a great future, but juvenile charges can seriously affect that future. Our skilled California criminal defense attorneys will discover if there is insufficiently gathered evidence, lack of intent, mistaken identity, or any of a host of defenses which can protect your juvenile from receiving the stigma and constraints of a juvenile criminal record.
Juveniles are easily influenced or peer pressured. It is important to look at the big picture by analyzing the juvenile’s life as a whole. Such analysis includes, life at home, grades in school, extracurricular activities, drug abuse, learning disorders such as A.D.D. or A.D.H.D and any other factors that may affect a young person’s thought process. Our California juvenile lawyers understand that young people are impressionable and will make mistakes. It is our job to ensure those mistakes don’t haunt the young adults for the rest of their lives.
Our California criminal defense attorneys will help make certain that your juvenile’s rights are not violated and that he or she receives the best protection available. Our dedicated and experienced California juvenile attorneys are ready and eager to ensure that your juvenile’s future is not darkened with a juvenile criminal record.
