Juvenile crimes

When children make mistakes it can seriously impact their options in the future.

Most juvenile cases are handled in the Family Court system, not in the criminal court.  The court focuses on guiding the child to a better future.  Crimes that children participate in include:

  • Drug possession
  • Graffiti
  • Vandalism
  • Assault
  • Robbery
  • Burglary
  • Criminal mischief

An accusation of juvenile crime does not have to impair your child’s opportunities in the future.  If your child has been accused of a crime, contact an experienced Orange County Family Law attorney who is dedicated to protecting juveniles against criminal charges.
