San Jose Juvenile Criminal Defense
According to juvenile criminal law in San Jose, a person is considered a juvenile until they turn 18. Juvenile crime cases & punishments may start out small but grow larger and riskier. Sooner or later, your child may need to hire an experienced criminal defense law firm to help defend their case.
Valencia, Ippolito & Bowman offer legal counsel for your juvenile criminal case in San Jose. Our objective is to dismiss or reduce your punishment or sentence. Most crimes committed by juveniles happen after school or during days off from school. The police may wind up at your door, and you are issued a summons to appear with your child in court.
No one should handle that alone. Our experienced juvenile crime law firm can review your case and advise you and your child of the potential punishments that may occur. Depending upon the severity of the cases, we will work together with the court to have any sentence dismissed or reduced.
Juvenile Crimes in San Jose
Any parent may feel helpless, anxious, and depressed watching their child go down the wrong path. At first the court system may appear lenient, hoping that community service, a probation officer, or a short stay in the detention center may stop certain behavior.
Unfortunately, some children may continue their behavior regardless of any restrictions the court or their parents put on them. With illegal drugs and weapons easily accessible, crimes among juveniles are increasing.
Parents may be unequipped to handle the situation on their own. An attorney who concentrates on juvenile crime cases can prepare you and your child for what is to come in court, and after their court appearance.
