Sacramento's Juvenile Lawyer

The stated purpose of prosecuting juvenile offenders differs from adults in that the emphasis is on rehabilitation, rather than punishment. This allows the courts and the probation department discretion to fashion a remedy that can help treat and rehabilitate. However, the consequences are often severe and lasting. Juveniles are not entitled to a jury trial, yet certain “strike” offenses can be used against them once they become adults. The California State Legislature has also given the District Attorneys the option of prosecuting juveniles as adults. Confinement in juvenile detention facilities can be traumatic, exposing children to other more violent youth. It is more important than ever to have someone fighting for the rights of your children or grandchildren. I have represented hundreds of juveniles and understand how to get the best results. Don’t think that being charged as a juvenile, is a minor offense. If your child has been charged with a crime, call now, I am here to help.
