California Juvenile Arrest Attorneys
If your child has been accused of a crime, it is important to understand that your child's future is on the line. The police showed up at your door and issued you a summons to appear with your child in court, but you do not have to go alone. In fact, you should not. You should enlist the assistance of an experienced criminal defense attorney who can work with the juvenile court to minimize the impact of the charges on your child's life.

Our law firm has won numerous awards, including being named Criminal Defense Firm of the Year by San Jose Magazine.
Do Not Handle This on Your Own
At first, the juvenile court system may appear lenient. Your child may be punished with community service or probation. Perhaps a short stay in the juvenile detention center will be on the line. While the juvenile court ideally would prefer to rehabilitate youthful offenders, serious penalties may come into play, particularly when it comes to serious crimes or repeat offenses. Children accused of drug offenses, theft and property crimes, such as shoplifting, and other nonviolent crimes may be treated much differently from those accused of assault and other violent crimes. There is too much on the line to try to handle this yourself.
We understand how the juvenile court system works. We know how to maneuver through it with the goal of preventing anything that happens now from hindering your child's future opportunities. We have achieved a great deal of success in these matters.
