| Juvenile
Crimes
If your child has been arrested, your first concern
is to get him or her released and find out the
exact charges. If the charge is a minor misdemeanor,
you may not require an attorney. If however, the
charge is a serious misdemeanor or a felony, you
should contact Johnson Law Group at once.
You may believe that because your child is young,
he or she cannot be punished with "adult"
sentences such as jail or prison. This is no longer
true. If your child is accused of certain crimes,
he or she can be charged, convicted and sentenced
as an adult even if he or she is very young. This
is usually true of violent offense or serious
felonies, but it may apply to other crimes as
well depending on the circumstances.
It is vital that juvenile crimes remain in juvenile
court. Cases in juvenile court generally remain
sealed and confidential. If your child goes to
adult court, the case can be made public and part
of his or her permanent record. Cases in juvenile
court offer more lenient and creative sentencing
alternatives. Your child can be offered counseling
and community service. If your child goes to adult
court, jail is a more likely alternative. If your
child does not plead in juvenile court, there
is the opportunity to go to trial, present evidence
and challenge the prosecution's case. At Johnson
Law Group, we understand what it takes to mount
a successful challenge to a juvenile case. Contact
us today to discuss your child's situation.
