Juvenile cases are different than those involving adult offenders. For example, did you know that in juvenile court there is no right to a jury trial? There is also no right to bail. You need to work with a criminal defense attorney who is experienced in representing juvenile offenders in particular in order to have the greatest opportunity of reaching a positive outcome for your child's case.

Types of Common Juvenile Crimes

The attorneys at our law firm provide dedicated representation through the entire juvenile criminal process to minors facing any of a number of criminal offenses, ranging from shoplifting to murder. Some of the specific juvenile crimes that our firm handles include assault and battery, date rape and property violations. If your child has been accused of a drug crime like drug trafficking / possession, a conviction could have a long-lasting effect on your child's future. The penalties for this type of crime will vary depending on the type of drug involved, the amount of drug, and other variables. Crimes that are charged as misdemeanors typically include non-violent crimes, traffic offenses and underage drinking. No matter how serious your crime may be, a juvenile defense lawyer is essential to succeeding with your case.

If your child has been charged with being involved in gang-related activities, he or she may face the same penalties as an adult. Gang offenses can include crimes such as theft crimes, burglary, robbery, weapons charges and more. Your child may be the victim of peer pressure and may feel forced to participate in gang activities to feel protected. We understand the circumstances that are associated with juvenile crimes and how to fight for reduced or dismissed charges. We have experience helping clients with charges of DUI, serious juvenile crimes where a child is tried as an adult, shoplifting, and weapon offenses. While the list of juvenile crimes goes on, our firm will defend virtually any underage case.

As a seasoned law firm, we understand that your child's future is in jeopardy when facing serious criminal charges. Even seemingly harmless misdemeanor offenses can hold catastrophic repercussions on your child's life. When you find out that your child has been charged with a crime, you will most likely be held responsible for a portion of the consequences. In many cases, if a child is fined as punishment, the parent is responsible for paying the fine if the child cannot afford it. When your financial future and your child's freedom is at stake, it is time to call a Solano County juvenile criminal defense attorney from our office.

Whether your child is facing charges involving a violent crime, theft crime, drug crime, sex crime or any other type of criminal offense, an attorney at our firm may be able to help you. We offer a free case evaluation to discuss your particular legal matter.
