Juvenile Crimes Defense

Is Your Juvenile Charged With A Crime?

A person under the age of 18 who is arrested or charged with a crime is normally charged as a juvenile, unless the crime is so heinous that the prosecutor decides to try him as an adult.   If you find your child has been charged with a crime, it is crucial to act quickly in their defense in order to prevent what could be a much larger problem when they become adults.  By contacting a criminal defense lawyer in San Diego County who is experienced in handling juvenile crimes, you can be certain your child's welfare will be safeguarded.

A juvenile can be charged with most any type of crime that an adult might commit, but the most common ones for minors include:

• Shoplifting
• Vandalism
• Petty theft
• Tagging
• Assault
• Drug offenses
• DUI
• Sexual assault
• Vehicular theft
• Gang related crimes
